One would think that someone as finance-savvy as a bank manager would be able to:-
1. Keep her fingers out of the till, and;
2. Educate her children on the merits of saving for things instead of depending on credit for everything.
If she'd have approved the loans in the name of her debt-ridden children and oversaw regular repayments from them then she'd have probably got away with it.
I wasn't aware that we had "Jails" in Australia.
Unfortunately the journos either copy & paste or accept their Windoze settings to use American spelling. Americans actually think we spell with Zs instead of S's, Us out of words like colour & valour & of course we say jail instead of gaol. They haven't realised (notice there's no Z here), that their spelling is incorrect.
What's even funnier is that we as Australians seem to accept this garbage. I had a workmate, born & bred in Adelaide who married an American woman. After they divorced & he'd returned to Oz, we had a discussion on aluminium which according to him was not a word & that the word was aluminum. Suffice to say I gave up wasting my time in that conversation because he was a moron.
My pet hate is words like grievous which have no "i" in the "vous" portion. Australians are as bad as Americans here & use these words to impress others as to their ability to speak the language as if they had better skills. I've even heard it spoken by a radio announcer. Mischievous is another of those abused words & the one I love most of all is obstropolous. This wonderful word doesn't exist but Australians & Americans both use this word regularly. The word they think they are using is obstreperous which even the American spelling dictionary cannot come up with a possibility.

That she has to compensate the NAB for stealing their money, how is it that when someone breaks into my home and steals mine, all I will get is what *can* be returned. The thief is not asked to compensate the victim. The thief is not required to repair my window, replace the locks on the doors or repurchase my laptop and return it to me. Seems a little bit like justice for the Bank rather than for the Thief. Unless of course I can not sue the thief in a criminal case, rather than a civil case for the return of my stolen property and damage relating to a crime?
