Hi All Thank you for the many messages re Martin Hartree. I¹ve now forwarded them to Norm Cramp who tells me that his workmates are doing all they can to support him.
Just to give you an example of the sort of blokes we¹re dealing with here some years ago there was a 3 m. crocodile living in Leanyer Ponds. The workers named him Ben. He would doze on the causeway waiting for the workers to drive past whereupon they¹d stop, feed him their lunch and give him a pat. Parks & Wildlife, learning about Ben, did not share the workers¹ feeling of mateship for this particular animal, and put a trap in the ponds to catch him. The workers, determined to keep Ben safe, kept removing the bait. However, he was soon caught and taken away to a crocodile farm.
The workers were very upset on losing him and so they did what anyone would do for a workmate. They put in an unfair dismissal claim, to the union. I was told it went right to the top before anyone realised that Ben was a croc.
