What do we need to do to legally overthrow the Government? I mean, a revolution, mutiny or whatever you want to call it. Its about we did something.

How much does it cost to save a life..... oohh arent we priceless so how can we put a price/fine on something we cannot afford. Forget about the slap on the wrist they dont want to bother with that they want the money.
i agree with above ^^^^

**** those ****s
Lets do something about this ******** it's going to far. They could spend that money on fixing roads and maybe setting up driver training centres, but those things do not bring in money. And the operators will make money for their fines??? Oh those guys thought they were being hassled before, imagine how people will act towards them now. |

Oh man it gets better n better. Deadset, people we must do somthing now, lets set a date, lets go protest, lets be heard.
It really has now come to the point where its becoming intolerable. Unfortunatly the people in the country are happy to just take it lying down instead of fighting against it. (i havent heard of any action against any of GovCo's moves...) Remember, many men died for the democracy we live under and it takes the voice of a whole nation to be heard.

But remember....
"The others will be worse" "The others are baaad mkay" "All are bad but we are less bad so don't vote us out" "I only hit you because I love you" "I would not have to hit you if you would just do what I tell you" Speed camera addiction is a disease, elections are the cure.... |

Ok so the new mobile cameras have been out for a few months now..... lets see proven statistics of how the crash rate has dramatically been cut............ what no proof? what a surprise. I bet they have stats on how much extra money they are making though.

Maybe we should get an online petition with thousands of signatures of people who is sick of the governments revenue raising. I don't know any ideas people? Maybe we should all drive around in a massive convoy at 20km/h, holding up traffic so no one will be going fast enough to get fined. I remember truckies saying they were going to do that down the F3 if the price of diesel hit the $2 mark. |

Welcome to Victoria!!
At least we get the opportunity to vote out Brumby and his muppets in the next few weeks. The ballot box is the best weapon in all this. Viva le revolution!!

Problem is car enthusiasts are a minority. Average Joe thinks speed cameras are a good idea because he gets a free ride and does not pay the extra tax that would be passed down if there were no speed cameras. Dont Speed, Dont Pay guys on their high horses are the majority and elections would see very few voting one way or another because of speed cameras.
What i dont understand is that this is a country of "Tuff Aussies" and yet nothing is done to the actual cameras them selves. The UK cameras are always on fire or full of expanding foam and in the States Hank just gets out his gun. The mobile cameras get attacked as well.

Just passed one of the new ones here in Brisbane, they don't have to display a damn thing indicating they are speed cameras, and apart from the checker plate toolboxes under the tray they are virtually invisible at night.
How in the hell is this not a blatant grab for cash!? |

Driving around at 20kmph will bound to anger alot of people plus it wouldent be fair for those who need the roads to work or get to work. Didnt the truckies already do that though? Only on the left lane of the F3? Maybe use the areas around the parliment as a car park and rally up aoutside with signs and a megaphone, the old fashioned way. Either way, actually getting up and doing somthing is the key. GovCo wont care about 500 signatures, they wont care about 600 letters, they will somwhat care about 500 angry people on their doorstep.

what about a gathering on the steps of parliament in canberra and have a fine burning whereby we ignite all the fines of 4 kmh or less over the limit actually perhaps not that would be a flipping huge fire

Who can i walk up to and backhand across the face? That sort of news is not something which should have even be thought of as part of any government endorsed and tax-payer funded program..
Seriously, who's going to cop my fist of fury?

I find the concept of speed cameras a very agitating. Tax-payer funded devices, designed to take money off tax-payers who are using a mode of transport that already is one of the most taxed things in the country.

i hate it but it is our fault . i bet if there was a STRIKE in a big business here in australia these days , such as teachers , or police, truckies , train drivers or wharfies , everyone would quickly join the media and govt ridicule , if truckies block road for this for example , people would take delight in seeing truck drivers be convicted and losing everything .
i'm sorry , but australia i am not proud of anymore , we are not allowed to speak against war, strike, complain or take action , and the minority who do get trampled on by civilian society |

Correct.... 100%. Its almost impossible to stand up for yourself, as seriously your standing alone if you try. Very few want to stand with you, especially when it affects the whole community. Apathy in this country means we all suffer the consequences....

My point, its all just like a dog barking at cars. Brumby and others might be the ones installing them, but they arent the ones who made them necessary for revenue. |
