Ned Kelly vs the bankers
Wednesday 08 August 2012
So at last Ned Kelly’s bones have been returned to his family for a decent burial (M Star August 2) and about time too.
When Ned and his gang robbed banks in Australia they would take the money and then build a fire of all the local people’s mortgage papers, debt certificates and IOUs.
That was a real banker’s bonus for the ordinary folk who owed the banks money. No wonder Ned and his gang were popular heroes with the locals, many of who, just like today, were under the heel of greedy bankers.
If I had to decide between Ned and criminal multinational bankers of today, I think I know who I’d name as the outlaws.
