i) The Magistrate has rightly reconginsed that there is something abhorrent in this action.

ii) Such a man doesn’t deserve to be a youth leader – I hope the church has disciplined him.

iii) I think I’m about ready to concede ont he “gaol” vs “jail” thing – much as I dislike American spellings, I think “jail” has now become the Aussie spelling.
