An ageing Perth millennial has watched the sensationalist coverage of some rowdy teens in Rotto with a bittersweet mix of emotion.
Mostly, however, the man is just VERY thankful that they didn’t have those police choppers with night vision hovering over Pinkys capturing all his behaviour when he was a spring chicken. He told The Times,
“Yeah, nah, wouldn’t want that be shown to the public ha ha, reckon the tech they have could even pick up the stains from when I got too excited in the dunes. I was known as Mr 2 seconds If you know what I mean”
Not only was he a chronic jeans-creamer but the man was also no stranger to a few gullet evacuations after a lengthy ride on a borrowed bike – the unwritten rule around unlocked bikes on the island.

Indeed, many from the previous generation should thank their lucky stars that the media wasn’t so desperate for a story back then. The man continued,
“Running a bit of amok on Rotto is a rite of passage. Sure sometimes it went too far but for the most part it was just kids having a bit of fun. You’re always gonna get the bad eggs in the omelette but lighten up a bit”
What do the police think kids are going to do when social media is officially banned?
