I can only sympathise with the families of the victims of truck-driver Scott Pitkin ("Travesty", The Argus, November 27).
Unfortunately, Queensland - and far-north Queensland in particular - is not, in my opinion, a model "civilised" society.
Cover-ups and malpractice are commonplace. It reminds me of the Southern states of the US when it comes to local justice.
The British authorities would do well to pursue this vigorously.
