Media beat up ..... again. Please fight back

Sorry ..... www.smh.com.au

We're on it Brian. See posts.
I wouldn't panic. This is about the 50th one of these. I think it will be all too hard for the regulators when they get down to tin tacks.
Then again I think I recall that's what they said about seatbelts too...... ummm off to vote again. :)

The fact is, that the girl has been run over by a careless driver. 4x4 was found a good reason to start an affair. Affairs are the most nutritious feeding for media. All over the world.

I cant believe she only got 250 hours of community service.

That's the REAL outrage.

iMusty

Over 60% of the cars in the teachers car park where I work are 4WD's.

Now who wants to come and look after their own kids at school???? I bet that the teachers at my school will say "Sorry I cant get to work and bring in all the materials that I work on at home, if I cant drive my one and only car (4WD) to WORK!"

I bet that a lot of other remote schools are the same. In fact in WA the remote teaching service schools (and quite a few others) OWN a school 4WD. Do we have to give up on these? Do all remote communities where there are a lot of kids have to give up their 4WD's.....????

Next time there is a bus crash I bet there will be thousands of parents saying "Ban school buses, we'll drive them to school ourselves" YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Some people need to take responsibility for their own actions and the actions of their kids.

Now propose that to the Sydney Morning Herald and I bet they dont even run it in their classified section let alone front page.

yet more dribble from the Sydny morning Herold. Do people actually still buy it. If its not 4wds its bullbars etc dont actually see much relevance in anything that would come from sydny as It would seem that most of the inhabitants have little idea what goes on outside of their vast sprawling metropolis (E O contributers would be an obvios exception) and I feel sorry for any person trying to conduct their life within in the true Australian way without some damn do gooder commie,homo,pinko,vego type minority group complaining about there right to 4wd, fish, hunt, own pitbulls or just generally excape the smog and have a good time - sorry but I really wonder what those #$%ankers sms ing in their votes actually do for fun (or otherwise)

I have send chanel 7 this email......this morning.......about the poll they have on there...is it fair enough to say........

I am so sick of hearing about this...it's never going to change. It's not the 4x4 owners responsibility to look out for other peoples children. I drive a big 4x4 and use it all the time to go places where normal cars can't go, to relax up the beach or to explore this country. The plan to get a special license might be a good idea for people starting off using a 4x4 for the first time or who are just using the 4x4 to pick up the kids from school. But for people that's been doing 4x4 for years now have a special skill that you learn over the years...control, when you go down a steep slope up the beach or down a mountain you take special care and look everywhere, I am sure the people that's been using a 4x4 for years to do 4x4 stuff have a much better record not hitting anything. If you can't see behind your car install some parking sensors...that's some cheap insurance ($170) for in case someone smalls walks behind your car or next to your car...this is a issue that could go on and on and.
What about people with mini fans? They have the same problem as 4x4 post of them are same length or even longer/higher, are they going to get a special license....please it's out of control....basic look after your kids and the world will be better place for drivers and parents

What about trucks and school buses? They have less visability than 4WDs are you going to ban school buses from parking near schools?
My mum never took me to school except for the first day when I was 5. but then there were less cars on the road
