Yes except for country folk who drive on dirt
roads. Of course the next enlightened government
would create an SUV police to make sure the
yuppies aren't fudging the system.

It will make it harder to buy booze. Of course
supermarkets & bulk sellers would need the same
rules. Now that cigarettes are all but
proscribed, there's hope for grog too.

Have you ever jet-lagged twice a year because of
this left-wing hippie/yuppie daylight "saving"?
Have you ever fumbled over re-setting the myriad
of clocks and electronic gizmos? Have you ever
lost business because of time differences between
the errant southern states and the enlightened
northern ones? Has anyone done a cost estimate to
see where the "saving" comes in? Have you ever
considered how bowel and other body functions are
dependent on daylight cycles? Have you ever
thought at all?

You mean after they have stopped rolling on the
ground laughing at us now? Overseas they have
umpteen secret ways of protection to protect their
voters. Like the stupid carbon tax Gillard
stuffed up with India, USA, China, Russia ignoring
the bullshit. Have you noticed that everything
here is deregulated except wages? Need I say
more?
>You're making Abbott look good
A brown dog could run Oz better than Gillard,
that latter-day Helen of Troy who launched a
thousand boats, with still more awaiting in the
bribery capital of the earth, Indonesia.
Gods have mercy on us..!
