A casual reader might almost think this is a reasonable explanation, but to anyone who's actually aware of what Pyne's review is or what its goals are, it's kind of hilarious.

What else is there do to in a situation like this but laugh?
So the boy is up in Ballarat and got some work. Few days trial, negotiated a cash day rate, told would be paid on Wednesday. Must have done OK as signed up all the papers on Monday to go on the books. All good.
So Wednesday comes, finish work, approach the boss and ask for his pay as agreed. The boss informs him the pay will be in his account on Friday. Right wrong or indifferent, the boy wasn't overly satisfied with this response as he had been expecting cash on Wednesday and hadn't been told different. He also unfortunately has inherited a bit of a temper, so a bit of a verbal discussion happened that may have got a tad heated. As the conversation was progressing the boss apparently inquired about where the boys work boots were, something that had been raised a few times. The boys response was that they were in Melbourne and he would be picking them up that night when he went home to visit (and get a free feed). He may or may not have used the term "cocksucker" to refer to the boss in the course of this conversation.
It seems that the boss wasn't overly enamored at being addressed by that term and apparently responded by firing 2 quick punches to the boys head. Not a smart move. They are both apparently of similar height, over 6 foot, with the boss having around 20 years and 10kg on the boy.
The boy's response to this unexpected physical turn of events was to get just a tad annoyed and fire off 2 quick punches to the head region of the boss, and turn on his heel and storm off to the car and leave without bothering to wait and see what the impact was.
So when he rolled up to my place with a slightly swollen left cheekbone and a sore hand, all I could do after I got the story was laugh.
So today he went into work (not having been told otherwise) wearing his work boots that he took back with him.
The gentleman with whom he had the "discussion" with the previous afternoon was not at work today and, after viewing the boys (slightly) swollen cheek he was sent home for the day to "rest and get that swelling down".
We'll see if he has a job tomorrow. He has no concerns at working with the other gentleman again, as far as he's concerned he got hit twice, he hit back twice, all even, lets get on with the job. Just make damn sure you pay me when you say you're going to.
And people say Perth is the wild wild west.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
