THE DUCKLING JUDGMENT
The Brisbane bus driver at the centre of The Duckling Incident has been reinstated. You hear that, you beaky yellow frauds? Your road-jamming days are over.

Posted by Tim Blair at August 1, 2003 02:02 AMI can't wait for the next time this guy is tooling down the road and sees a line of duckling crossing same. I bet the whacko left will complain when he steers frantically to avoid squashing the cute-n-fuzzies, overturning the speeding bus and killing four or five people.
But at least the duckies will be safe!

Apparently endangering the lives of dozens of people is what you have to do to prove yourself worthy of employment at that bus company!

I believe the Israel Defence Force was waiting in the wings of the hearing with an offer of employment as a 'dozer driver if his appeal failed.

Duck: Just put in on the bill.
Bus driver: I think I may have run over a duck!
Passenger: Don't take half measures! If you're not sure, back up the bus and run over it again!
