through the city tunnel. They are real pissed cause they can't catch bikes
due to the fact they don't (yet) have a number plate at the front. They
showed what looked to be an R1 going through it at 196kph (speed limit is
80).

way. Because bikes are a minority group and we have a nation of dumb
fucking people that don't bother to analyse what is being said, then the
politicians will get the media on side and that will give the media some
cause to push (ratings inspired only because media are the parasitic germs
that live off pollies). Then we will have speed limiters etc . Eventually
the media will get tired of that cause, the ratings drop and so it will then
be, genetically engineered food, homosexuality or some other thing that
rates, until the ratings drop so then they will move onto another cause.
So the dumb fucking Australian public, which are all individuals (NOT), will
sheep onto the next cause with the pollies and the media, which in turn
gives us more and more laws that restrict our lives. So eventually we will
have only one single difference between a dictatorship and democracy - we
vote the arseholes in and then they shaft the fuck out of us. The words are
'power' and 'control' over people, that is why pollies are in it.

prediction last night, but rather reaffirmed reality. We already have a
dicktatorship. The chief dick (or is it tator) being the combined brain
scraps of the governments controlled by the packer and murdock spawns. Here
in the lucky country we now have more politicians per head of population
than any other country in the world. Short of anarchy I don't have a
solution.

Info came from an MRAQ meeting a couple of weeks ago. Apparently also
under consideration to go before Parliament are compulsory flouro
safety vests over whatever you're wearing, and a further lowering of
sound levels for bike exhausts.
No, I'm not a member, I went along because of the Motorcycle Awareness
Week ride (all local bike clubs have been invited to attend), however
after hearing some of the political goings-on, I'm thinking about it -
the MRAQ has 5 members trying to look out for Qld motorcyclists.

Again, of no consequence. In any case, aerodynamics aren't all that
critical at legal highway speeds.
Still, if this becomes an issue, I hope you folks (who are in Vic) are

Queensland puts the onus on the vehicle owner and has since cameras first
came in.
Steve Oxley
There are quite a few of them cameras on top of tall poles, all along
the free^H^H^H^Htoll way.
They aren't speed cameras - they're basically CCTV cameras so some guy
in a room full of tv screens can watch the traffic flow, and update
those electronic signs that say "X minutes to Y road". (If you've
seen the odd news segment about citylink, and they show some dark room
filled with TV screens, that's them.)

Tell me, for those who frequenct Citylink. On the outbound lanes, about
2 km before Toorak Road, there's what appears to be a camera mounted on

If they reintroduced them would we not be the only OECD country with such

As for the noise and safety vest agendas they have been banging around for

For faired bikes, I can't see it being too difficult to afix a number
plate inside the windscreen. That is how it was on my bikini faired
GSX1100 many moons ago.
Still, I hope that they don't try it. If nothing else, it would look

Doesn't work that way here in Qld. The owner of the vehicle is legally
responsible if the driver cannot be identified.
The onus is on the owner to know who is using their vehicle and at what
times/dates.

In Vic, the onus has ALWAYS been on the owner to 'fess up. Dunno what
Tony's talking about.
At work, it's been decreed that if anyone who's driving a company car
gets flashed, then it's the responsibility of the supervisor who's in
charge of that particular car to find out who the culprit is. If he
can't, he wears the fine. We're supposed to sign a log book every time
we go off site, but this hasn't been happening. Because of that, the
above's been implemented.
I personally don't know how that's stand up in court if the supervisor
decided to challenge it, particularly if someone found a speed camera
and decided to be spiteful.
It sort of takes away the "innocent til proved guilty" concept, I
reckon. If someone's driving a car that is registered to you, you cop
the fine if you honestly don't know who was driving it. I've heard of
people getting fines for offences that they could not have possibly
committed, because they were not there, or the car's plate was
misinterpreted, or whatever. One lady rang in to the ABC one morning
complaining that her elderly father had gotten a fine for speeding. The
poor bugger doesn't own a car. Apparently, someone has a car registered
to his name, yet when they complained, neither the police nor Vicroads
were interested in doing anything about it.

Unfortunately, Melanie, Melvin or whoever you are, in Victoria, it
doesn't work that way. The onus is on you to prove who the driver was.
If you can prove conclusively that you were somewhere else at the time,
then perhaps. But this means you're in court, defending your, or
someone else's actions.

I thought the resource companies were successfully lobbying the
National Party to vote against the legislation.
Fucking fan-tastic. Start looking for rear-ward facing Multanovas
boys, and better flip that rego disc down across yer numberplate...
