If we crush cars that are roadworthy or able to be roadworthy this is in itself a crime.

My Rotary club just donated many hours and dollars assisting a single Mum with a sick child get herself mobile after some low life stole her only means of transport.

This Mum who had already experienced the sudden death of her partner is faced with frequent visits to the metropolitian childrens hospital.

Our club was approach to help her as she had insurance but did not have full comphrehensive. Her car a Ford was destroyed. We purchased a similiar car for her and club members fixed it up..

Total of 100 hours was spent on re carpet, re paint and removing rust etc. The local stereo shop donated a unit. Our local Tyrepower supplied and balanced wheels and tyres.

The look on her face was worth it when the car was handed over. It was humbling to be part of it all.

Put simply - if we have a Government or a Police Force that are taking cars off the street and then crushing them, when there are so many genuine people out there that would give everything to have a car. We have a bigger problem than I thought.

These so called HOON cars could be quickly made roadworthy and given to deserving people.

We have another older lady who travels to hospital weekly for kidney treatment and her car is in need of replacement.



Perhaps someone can tell me if this crushing is taking place at the m oment. I will be the first to go to the site and protest

Surely this crushing of good cars cannot be going on..

Gday bernie, it hasent started yet, but as soon as the new right wing queensland government of can of do do newman and his patsys pass it throught parliament, its on.

I dont think the wider general qld public know of it yet, not that they will care.

The new 30 yr old attorney general is obviously not a car guy, he must have had a bad experience growing up in rednecksville.

The silence is deafening from nearly all of my qld fellow cobra enthuists on this topic, most of the responses have been from southerners, they must be embarrased because they voted for this mob, either that or they think this is going to be a great law to benefit society.

It will only take 1 cobra crushed up here, and then wait for the cresendo.

What does it tell you about a new government, with all of the problems out there in society, that this is one of the first things on their agenda to pass parliament.

Thanks for your comments, i totally concur.
