Good call Bellfest.
Movin' up - you are a nob and for the rest of the planet what you are seeing here is a classic case of tall poppy syndrome. Cut the head off the highest one 'cause it is standing out.
Why are we debating the death of a great Australian? He died doing what he loved and while it was too soon to go, at least he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.
There are plenty of wannabe Steve Erwins out there now, I remember Milton jumping on the croc for Troy Dann - a genuine Territorian and genuine poser. Now why was a real 'northerner' like Troy even try to imitate Steve Erwin if he was such a fool as you would suggest? Steve was first and all the rest a distinct second.
