NSW and Bullbars - Fines etc

I'd love to believe it was a safety issue - but then we have (1) hospitals in crisis, (2) Redfern, (3) stupid Land Taxes ..... and Bob Carr is event thinking of declaring my front lawn a National Park.

Hey Truckster,

I can just see Toyota giving me a Factory bullbar that does not meet regulations. The lawyers would have a field day on that one after the fact.

Retrospective legislation is always tricky, it is difficult to take away what you already have as opposed to not allowing future entitlement (I can just see the current crop of MPs giving up their 51% taxpayer subsidised super scheme).

You can only comply with the regulations in effect at the time.

Colin in reply to what has Redfern got to do with so called unsafe bullbars,,, the people whom WE pay to protect and serve our communal interests NEEDED but did not have bullbars on their vehicles to protect them from the Redfern wildlife.,,,

If you want to relate the Redfern issue back to Bullbars and 4WDs in general then perhaps you should look at what happens "up north". I have been to an aboriginal mission and seen something to break my heart. A row of rolled, bent or otherwise bleep ed Toyotas - none with more than 10,000km on the clock sittng in the paddock rusting away and paid for by you know who - you!

Its is the same with boats on the beach. There is that much money going around that these things are used until they are stuffed - no maintenace or care - and then left on the side of the road or on the beach. Then the guverment provides a new one!

Meanwhile I am paying tens of thousands in tax to keep this going.

The indiginous culture may have problems and i am all for helping out BUT while I see my tax dollars being wasted like this it does dull my enthusiasm!

What lala land do you live in, one that all things are equal and fair, where there is no discrimination, no abuse, no drug problem, no crime where a fair days work deserves a pair days pay, then go on living in your ideal world but please do not read the papers, the news as there may be items which may disappoint you.

all the best

Hey Willem

I'm sure your a very nice bloke. Never met you but you gotta be nice.

However mate, DO NOT tell me to go live somewhere else if I don't like the system. Just because it's the system does not make it true and correct. I was born in this country as was my Mum & Dad and their Mums and Dads and their Mums and Dads.

If I don't like the system then it's my right to complain and do everything in my power (legally) to have the system changed. We might have lived off the shep's back for many years Willem, but that does not mean I have to follow blindly every inane idea that some self-centered, money grubbing pollie comes up with. Their agenda is for themselves and their club. Not for you and me. Willem mate, get your head out of the desert sands. Their is a huge amount of inequality in this country. Maybe once it was against the indigenous people but now it's is defenitely against us.

Tell me mate, why should and indigenous person have the right to charge people for driving down"his" road. If I tried that in reverse I'd get locked up. But nothing happens to them.

Sorry Willem. I'm sure you're a well meaningbloke. But you hit a raw nerve.

Time for another beer.

I think this thread got a bit out of line, but reading some of the remarks from members has convinced me of one thing - I will not become a member. I have worked in the outback for a lot of years and some of my best mates are indigenous Australians and always will be. I have seen what white European assimilation has done to the traditional owners of this country and it is not good.

I agree with Willem on this issue - keep your rascist remarks off this forum.
