So Q&A hero, Duncan has turned out to have feet of clay: he has criminal convictions.

Whilst I didn’t donate to Duncan’s GoFundMe cause, I wouldn’t feel too bad if I had, because his Q&A appearance should be judged on what he said, regardless of his background; and what he said about the beneficiaries of Liberal Party tax policy was accurate.

No excuse for Duncan’s criminality, but maybe his situation serves to underline Marcus Aurelius’ statement: “Poverty is the mother of crime.”
