The Governments of Australia are getting away with far too much, federal and state governments are constantly sinking to new lows to fleece the people to pay for their screwed up failed projects and cost blow outs, and its time the people rose up to stop the rot, but it takes a nation of millions to stand together, not for a few to stand up and for the others to sit back and watch, so nothing will happen.

How do we change this, who knows.

Totally agreed with this comment above, the main point of this thread is that unfortunately we are being fleeced more and more every year by our greedy and corrupt goverments, and we really need to stand as a group and say "ENOUGH".... pointless bickering among ourselves here over how many times we check the speedo etc, that type of driving behaviour is just another negative side effect of the brainwashing we are all subjected to daily by the gov't, police and mass media. Certainly this isnt the country I grew up in and was proud to be a part of, not so long ago...:-(

How do we change this, who knows.

simple.

but we dont have the balls to do it in this country.

civil disobedience.

500,000 people across australia refuse to pay their fines/rego etc

co ordinated blockages of parliment houses in each state. block all roads around it. not one motorist will not sympathise with the message

we ask for total transparency on every cent to do with roads/ fees/ rego's tolls etc etc.

we sue them for raising the death level in NT.

we sue them for failing to provide speed camera's in black spots, which was their original intention.

winning isnt the end game. the bad publicity for the government will force them to sit down and talk.

we force the government to put the calibration dates from camera's on every fine, not only that, we force them to put the manufactures tolerances of the camera on the fine too. so if we get done 3klm over limit, by a camera that has a tolerance of 5klm, we can contest the fine.

but we won't do any of it. because we have never actually had to fight for anything here as a collective.

and the numerous forums are too weak to join forces and do something about it. they don't realise how much clout they really do have.
