The Bottle of Plonk

Mark Webber today said speaking before today’s Australian Grand Prix, increasing rules and regulations left him feeling like he needed to read an instruction book before getting out of bed.

“I think we’ve got to read an instruction book when we get out of bed – what we can do and what we can’t do,” Webber said “Put a yellow vest on and all that sort of stuff. It’s certainly changed since I left here. It pisses me off coming back here to be honest. It’s a great country but we’ve got to be responsible for our actions and it’s certainly a bloody nanny state when it comes to what we can do.”

He was of course talking at the time about Victoria and more importantly about what I consider a storm in a tea cup when one of his fellow F1 drivers did a burn out in front of the Victorian police. Of course the police had to arrest this wayward driver because he was in no doubt a menace to society and would have surely killed at least 25 people in a road accident if not for the quick action of the Victorian Highway patrol to impound his car.

I’m sure that’s the story the Labor government will like to tell us. Ok I admit I did carry on a little there, but so did the cops that impounded his car over a trivial incident.

Problem is NSW is now becoming the same over policed over regulated can’t do anything with out breaking some stupid new government law that is some knee jerk reaction to what ever has happened on the day to save their political skin. I’m tired of politics on the run.

Take for example to latest NSW grab for money, It was said today that mobile speed camera’s will be reintroduced in NSW. This of course was for our own good because we have had some small increase in the number of deaths on our roads. Lets not forget that this increase is coming off an almost historical low base.  And for Gods sake lets not mention that we have had a huge increase of cars on the roads year on year on year with all the money rapped from the NSW motorist like fuel, registration and insurance levies spent on things like the Sydney Metro or probably state politicians biscuits at parliament house.

I as a motorist in NSW am growing ever increasingly tired of being a mobile bank for incompetent Governments both state and federal. At my last count NSW already had more fixed speed camera’s and more red-light camera’s then any other state. Which is set to increase with the introduction of “safety camera’s” which do red-light and speed. Now as I have said we get the mobile ones back. I haven’t even touched on the subject of the number of patrol cars on the road hiding in bushes to nab that out of control driver doing 120 km/h on the dual carriage express way between Sydney and Melbourne.

Dont bring in more of your cash camera’s and tell me its for my own protection. If your going to bring them back in service then have the balls to say that they are only to increase the states coffers.

It too pisses me off that Governments around Australia have done nothing but increase the compliance requirement of its population. But I suppose that’s what a socialist regime does to its people.  Over time removing the ability of the population to think for its self, telling it what is good and bad, which bring to mind yet another person currently telling me what is and what is not bad for me. “Steven -Ill tell you what you can look at on the net- Conroy”.

I’m am sure that If I ask 100 people here in Australia what their view on Adolf Hitler was, 99% would have very little good to say about his political views. But just how many of them can put 2 and 2 together and realize he was nothing more then the Leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi Party).  The Labor party here is also a socialist workers party. (perhaps in a separate post I’ll continue this thought).

Wake up Australia before its too late, don’t allow elected government’s of either persuasion tell you what is good for you, you already know whats good for you I’m sure Australia as a nation is not that stupid yet.

The current path we walk is a very slippery slope, one that I’m not sure there is a path of return.
