I've always wondered why we idolise and have TV shows about and put tattoos on our bodies and such about criminals, instead of the true heroes and explorers of our past.
Look at Ned Kelly...to be blunt, he was a savage cop killing horse thief who got what he deserved, and the only reason he's remembered is because he tried to (unsuccessfully) cover himself in old bits of metal to stop police bullets. Why is he a "hero"...?
Look at the TV series...Underbelly, the upcoming Squizzy Taylor one...why do we idolise criminals and ignore the true leading lights that made our country what it is today?
How about a TV mini series about Gelegnite Jack...? Now that would be a "blast"...
