The parents of two pupils from St Bede’s College got a court injunction so their sons could row in a competition. The school had cut them from the team after they were given formal warnings by Police and Aviation Security about jumping on the baggage conveyor at Christchurch Auckland Airport.
Which just brought to mind a quote from the Terry Pratchett novel Night Watch:
“That’s the way it was. Privilege, which just means private law. Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it.”
In a post-9/11 world where you aren’t even allowed to joke in the line for passenger screening, the rules clearly don’t apply to the sons of rowing commitee chairmen from decile 9 integrated schools.
