this bit does my head in

“He had no water, no food and he’d broken down again,” Sen. Sgt Cooper said.

“He had some fuel left but not much. He wouldn’t have made it to Billiluna 300km away. “So he’s in his 80s, in a vehicle with one battery travelling along a stock route outside of tourist season.”

Even then, the man was argumentative with police because he wanted to complete the drive.

As police escorted the man to the nearest community, one of his tyres was punctured.

He was unable to change the tyre with the tools he was carrying.

The " get out of my way I'll do what ever I want and you owe me  " Attitude is an everyday occurrence  around these parts ..
Stuff the duty of care, take down warning signs  and let natural selection  take its course ... Baby sitting brainless people gets old very quickly ..
