Interesting. I knew a painter who worked for the council. His fiddle was to call at the stores depot with an empty paint tin. He'd ask the staff there if he could take a small amount of sand away in the empty tin to finish a small job at home. Sand costs very little and so they'd say yes. But - the empty paint tin would be discarded and the painter would take a full new paint tin and place a mound of sand on the tin lid and walk out. Once out, he'd dust the sand off and have a full tin of paint!

For a while I felt sorry for them because they stole to stay alive (hunger). Looking deeper into it they were starving because they rarely attended their regiment (free food) and because of this had no money for food outside their regiment.

I'd rather be in prison than on the western front. If I'd been them I'd have considered assaulting the magistrate, just to make sure.

Descendants of Stolen Generations are leading a push to restore one of New South Wales' most significant sites, the Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls. The home operated between 1912 and 1969, training hundreds of young Aboriginal girls forcibly removed from their families to be domestic servants.
