It's simple, you don't need a cop at every flooded road. But you should have a cop attend every vehicle that is stuck in flood waters and book them for negligent driving. It should be a strict liability offence. The danger is obvious so thus they are negligent. If someone is injured the offence should be higher. Just because someone decides I am now 'offroading' doesn't mean your actions are safe nor legal. Fining people for a clearly high risk act is entirely reasonably. We have laws fining people for simply not locking their car, which is purely a cop out for insurance companies. This is about safety, so I don't think a water crossing fine is extreme.

I am with OME in this. It is a f..kwit thing to endanger others entering swift water. It's a obvious risk and should be treated as so. It's not death by misadventure but a deliberate dangerous act. Not just fines but jail should injuries or death occur. Additionally it might be a case of refusal to payout on insurance for grossly negligent act.

Very sad. Unfortunately riding skills are not compatible with a chair without training and practice on a field etc. They are neither a bike nor car, neither beast or fowl. Certainly the lower the c of g the better. I used to be a practice monkey for racing sidecars.

Yes, Donald McKay, was a local business man with a furniture shop and local politician. Was rumoured to be turned into blood and bone, a nasty end.

Probably the best trad sidecar ever- absolutely beautiful. Some make replicas but the reral deal is best, sadly worth a bomb. The Guzzi are very comfy but having a Tonti frame- basically a LeMans frame but taller and slightly longer, means they are by far the best handling and braking cruiser. My twin bro had one and it really could eat corners. I would love the Guzzi Outfit but sadly no space or money.

I once had a Steib Zeppelin chair to put on a BMW but never had the time when my partner was sick. The chair was beautiful. Worth lots now.

Yes, Great value and great looking setup. The front end makes all the difference. A huge step up from a Ural. The Guzzi is a great tourer, comfy and handle well.

I am sure Brenden will

That chair would be better with a supercharger.😁 Go on do it. And have it classic regoed. Oh and add much better brakes. Leave the patina as is.🍺

I call bullshit. They are supervised and no work means no credit for the court sentence. Best case they repeat the day, worse case they are breached and go back before the court.

sounds about right. Rarely ever need it and always get it. At least it keeps the tourists away.

I can spare you some. Large rains coming to the Port Stephens area. Bring own bucket.

It is a broad sword, but it is indicative of the level of hate and division that has been shown in Oz politics for many years. We have unfettered Hate speech particulary from many on the right wing side of politics that makes the "other" the enemy and uses violent language against those in the middle and the left. Its not all one sided but the vast majority of appalling speech is coming from the right, esp Hansen and friends. The Libs are certainly not immume- only last week in Parliament a fed WA senior Lib called for Anne Aly and The PM to be "taken to a public square and stoned" she left out to "Death" but the implication was clear. NO consequences, no ban from parliament, and a half apology. That was over the changes to credit cards fees and bussiness. So , we had a call to violence inside parliament, a society that lets that fly, is one that soon leads to yesterdays horror. The Libs knew what they said and that it is parliamentry priveledged. Last week, we had the One nation cartton attacking Jackie Lambie and making fun of her because she spoke of Vaginal prolapse, a severe condition that effects more than 10% of women and particulary those with lower back injuries. She detailed her experience and the need for greater help and understanding. She bravely used her experience to help society understand this largely ignored medical issue. Hansens response was a disgusting cartoon mocking Lambie and by extenstion any women who suffers from this. No aplogy, a refusal to change the cartoon and called lambie a sook for not having a sense of humour. Only today after the Haines attack was the cartoon modified. The week before it was a clearly racist AI ad for the Vic election from One Nation. I think in general that Jerry is correct.

That's a bargain, hope it works as well.

Cool use of a old Goldwing.

Another scam by the man.

So its trully terrible then.

I call a big fat bullshit to almost everthing Musk says and does. I dont see his flying car as anything but hyper marketing that will be nothing like the car that is on sale. The acceleration is technically possible but highly suspect. Some hyper electric cars can do a sub 2 sec claimed to 100, the worlds fastest is 1 sec and thats a special electric hyper go cart of small size and massive short term power. Its drivers report a very scary drive and G block would be a thing if not for the very short drive time. This is more that F1 acceleration. Anything under 3 secs is extreme acceleration and requires great skill to safely use and the right conditions. My BMW bike is capable of 2.6 sec to 100kmh and that feels extreme and keeps rocketing once you get past that. 80kmh overtaking can easily be 160 if passing a truck in mere seconds, any car capable of that type acceleration would be deadly in most hands. We absolutely do not need more cars like Musk is pushing. On to the flying claims- absolute bullshit. The "car" that had rockets and apparently suction fans seems fake. Yes, the fans are possible as they are proven on the Mcmurty Sperling, but thats a track dedicated single seater and relies on pressure gradient to suck it to a surface. It has no rockets, and as soon a ground\surface contact is lost, so is the suction. I would think the flying one is a 200-300kg dummy made of carbon with thrusters and fans or even a electromagnet on the track it climbs and clings to. It falls and moves to smoothly in the video to be realistic. Or a hidden arm not seen on camera, I am sure his AI could hide the arm. I think its just a big bullshit campaign to push share prices and way overpromise as per normal. I await years of promises, lost money and then followed by claims that the FAA banned it because it could "really Fly".

The country is doing well, but Tassie is a joke. No money for hospital beds but a billion to build a stadium that's not needed and will only benefit the private AFL. Or maybe leasing a smaller stadium for less than a house rent. Typical dodgy deals.

True, But he is dragging the Tasmania govt into huge debt and letting corporate mates get free reign over public assets. So the whole country will pay via federal bailouts for things like the aluminium smelter and all sorts of dodgy shit. Bet they ask for a bigger GST slice plus more health and education funding to cover their arse. A blind dog could manage a economy better.

Riding in hail is never fun. Like been assualted by an angry dwarf with a little ball peen hammer. Makes snow and black ice seem like fun-almost.

Angus Is both a swary consultant and a farmer, and dodgy as hell in both roles. He has broken the law heaps of times and as they were in power got to keep the grubby gains. Look up Jamland - profit from breaking environmental laws Also a big water deal that miracously changed directors from him to a Taxhaven just before his government paid millions for water that didn't exist. Barnaby was also involved.

Sadly not
