Jeez you Aussie guys are some troopers. If I had to live under those jackbooted rules I think I'd go nuts. I used to really want to visit your beautiful country but the more I read about the government the less I want to go. First they "buy back" all your guns (still haven't figured out when the G owned them before you guys) and every time I read a post in the Aussie section someone is being hosed by seemingly stupid rules. For instance what the hell does having numbers on your car have to do with its safety? Legitimate safety concerns I understand, I've been in US law enforcement for almost 30 years, but some of the rules you guys live with are just out there. Someone complained so you have to haul your car down to a station to be inspected?! WTF?
Just ranting, Steve
