Life in the navy in peace time could be a little boring and it seems that the crew of HMAS Success devised a game to ease the monotony.
It was called " The Ledger " and created a money pool competition. The objective of this competition was to score points by having sex with female crew members, and each female crew member was " handicapped " by age, rank - and perceived beauty.
A complex scaling of points was awarded from each conquest, and presumably the winner walked away with the money pot.
Somehow the navy heard about this - and was not amused. This led to an enquiry which produced a negative finding, and now a fresh enquiry is underway - headed by no less than a Federal Court QC.
The interesting point is whether this charade actually broke any laws.
It would certainly enrage feminists - and it was undoubtedly in poor taste - but is there actually any law on the books that forbids betting on sexual success ?
