What out for that nice man down the street....

Well, blabber mouth Derryn Hinch is in the news again for blurting out the names of trying-to-be-rehabilitated former sex-offenders. How could he do this?
Attention seeking behaviour? Trouble-causing? Rabble-rousing?
But he is not the issue here even though he has managed to make himself the centre of attention for the media.
Convicted child sex offenders are at large once again and should we, the Melbourne public in this case, be told of who they are and where they are living?
Some are even undergoing ‘chemical sterilization: what a God-awful image that conjures up, eh? What happened to good old fashioned vasectomies?
You know that newly-moved in older chap on the ground floor flat over the road? The one who smiles nicely at you as you rush out in the morning taking your kidlets to school?
He could be one.
What about that creepy guy you’ve seen down the local pool lately, who always seemsto be doing slow laps next to the kiddies playing area?
Yep, another one.
And the charming fellow who collects the escaping shopping trolleys down at Coles? Always holds open your car door for you if he sees you, says hi nicely to your little boy? Wouldn’t like to tell you what he’s been up to.
So, don’t agree to any of ‘em driving your little darlings to school.
Or helping with homework. Or kicking the footy around the park down the road.
But you wouldn’t be silly enough to do that, would you?
