British Expats - Aussie straps in beer, Not child

Also here.

The pertinent facts:

Police said they were "shocked and appalled" when they pulled over the car south of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.

They said the 30-can pack of beer was strapped down between two adults in the back, with the five-year-old child unrestrained on the floor.

The driver was handed a fine of A$750 (US$709; Â£362).

The fine was for failing to ensure a child was wearing a seatbelt as well as driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.

Alice Springs; unregistered & uninsured vehicle; slab of beer; small child.

My guess: Aboriginal driver. I could be completely wrong, but the details seem to be pointing in that direction.
