Disappointed by Luigi's politics? Here, have an audio recording of Ned Kelly's Jerilderie Letter, it's on the house. We all deserve a politically decent gun-toting folk hero in these trying times. (www.youtube.com)

Sadly, he's a pretty heavily sanitised national icon. He's a folk hero, but his issues with Australia's extremely corrupt police force are largely ignored or dismissed as a "product of their times" (ignoring the fact that the same colonial police from back then is still the foundation for the police of Australia to this day).
