Does the following apply to the ARL (Australian Rugby League) or AFL (Australian Football League) players?
36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least two businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits
and 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organisation members this list refers to?
Give up yet?
Neither! It's the 535 members of the AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT IN CANBERRA.
The same group of people who write and pass hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line.
Yikes!
(from an email forward, so you KNOW it's got to be true!)
