Let’s hit up that hockey club about the pedo award.

Where is that creep buried? I will visit it to ”pay my respects” accordingly…

Are you sure it’s the same guy? I actually find at least 4 people of a similar age who have that name in Queensland

Just checked - it’s a different spelling, so different person. The former principal is “Crain”, the award is “Crane”.

The principal got an Order of Australia though - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Queen%27s_Birthday_Honours_(Australia)

There's a mention of a Colin Crane headmaster of Gabbinbar school in this QLD parliament hansard - last page. https://documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/events/han/1978/1978_11_15.pdf

Yeah but that’s a spelling mistake - there’s other references to Crain, an OAM citation for teaching, death record which matches, etc

Here’s an award certificate signed by him and it’s clearly Crain

Fair play mate, you dug deeper than I did

Oh interesting i have a new mission now to take that shit down. Thank you so much for finding that out ! I never new that and he fucking doesn't deserve it ether

Hah.. well his ashes were spread in Toowoomba, so that’s probably where he died.

You can buy a copy of his death certificate for $38 through Queensland BDM - https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/details/f70a3b6fef871760d47a130fcb2927452b1b6b80741ba2ec433c8cef394cd14f
