Dumping rubbish on tracks - sickening footage

Very true Chris. Violence is not the answer but I am just stunned at how people can get away with it? It's obviously a known dumping ground so why is it allowed to continue? How you can get pinged for doing a few km's over the limit and fined when you're not intentionally breaking the law but this sort of stuff goes un-policed and unpunished?

Sorry old mate that is no excuse for dumping rubbish in the bush

Hi mate,

Yes I saw that, there was also the huge amount of mess, broken bottles, cans and rubbish that was left piled up down at Meelup beach near Dunsborough over Australia day and I'm sure many other scenically beautiful locations around the country. Of the hundreds op people that were there only 4 blokes came back the next day and helped clean up. Kudos to them but why does the "I don't give a toss" brigade roll in such heavy numbers? I'm just staggered at the mentality that you would come and celebrate being an Australian while at the same time taking a massive crap on the very thing you profess to love about living here??

I don't know Cruiser, I just can't understand it at all. When I was growing up it was all about "keep Australia beautiful" and there were TV ads, school visits by that Captain Cleanup dude, amongst other things. But something happened along the way since then and now, people's mindset changed. People don't give a stuff, "I'm alright jack" or "I'll do what I want" or "don't tell ME what to do" etc, these will be the same people that scream blue murder when these nice public places become off limits because of THEIR behaviour.

Perhaps it is just another symptom of the decline of society's values, I dunno. Sad really.

Gidday

Just on Australia Day. I went to the Swan River foreshore for the fireworks for the first time in 20 years (under sufferance) and was amazed at the crowd behaviour.

It was excellent.

There was some press reporting in the following couple of days on how the event had changed from almost a continuous drunken rolling brawl to an event for families with few problems, hardly any arrests and no mountains of rubbish to be cleared.

The reason? No tolerance for drinking outside designated areas.

I enjoy a drink as much as the next bloke but if these types of crackdowns are the only way to deal with a problem then so be it

Cheers

Forgot to add.... my point is I suspect appealing these type of peoples better nature ain't going to make one whit of difference, as their only interest is to save $$$ by avoiding dump fees. he only way to stop thes folks is to catch them in the act..
