Dear Mitch and panellists,

There we were having a great time at the department’s Christmas party when the office drunk and loud mouth ruined it for everyone, as she usually does, by getting so thoroughly tipsy that she tripped over and hurt herself. Most of us found it hilarious for days until, last week when her insurance company and /or lawyer, contacted most of us, her work colleagues, to make witness statements because she intends to sue the poor, struggling migrant family that runs the restaurant.

What has become of the fair go mentality that we all used to think was so very Australian? We’ve turned into greedy, irresponsible, selfish people who want to blame everyone else for our own behaviour. And this loudmouth, drunk bitch is case in point. And what makes it so much worse is that it is going to ruin this poor struggling family’s Christmas and probably their business.

Why have we become like this? What can I do to stop this going action going ahead because I need to do something? Is it too late to get back the great Aussie fair go mentality?

Sally, Scarborough, WA
