Australia has a two tier justice system.
If your rich or higher class a person you get ' favourable ' treatment front both the police & the court .
It happens all the time . Drunk driving, gets a smaller fine ,plus a small suspension of licence.
As seen on TV,
A lower class worker will loose their licence, then their job . ( no transport ).
Probably end up on the streets homeless.
I personally know of two male drivers who ended up homeless due to loosing their driving licence. Only one was ,' alcohol ' related, the other fell asleep after double shift ! .
