A lawyer and elite Christian school board member has been accused of stereotyping poor people on a Facebook page she set-up following the theft of her luxury car.
Dr Bridget Cullen created the page after her black 2017 BMW 5 series sports car was allegedly stolen from her Indooroopilly, west Brisbane, home in December last year.
Dr Cullen, a lawyer with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, jokingly pretended to be the alleged offender on a page called Bridget s BMW Rescue Journey, the Courier Mail reported.
The public page, which has since been deleted, followed a fictional meth-addicted teenager whose mother is a prostitute living in government housing in Redbank.
