What do you expect from the ABC. They are a bunch of amateurs playing DJ with our taxes. Anyone with real brains works at commercial stations and get paid properly.

How many bl***y times do we have to put up with this message - It seems to repeat itself with mononotous regularity at least6 every 6 months ever since the internet first started.

Please check out the hoaxbuster websites before you pass these type of messages on.

The next time I see this message I am going to personally put my hand through the electronic highways of the cyber world and strangle the idiot that sent it.

If you do not get it after this then you have a few issues with "being cool" and you probably should cancell your internet subscription.

I can't work out how it is going to hurt oil companies. Won't their profits just double the following day as all those who have put it off go in to buy petrol?

We should have a no pick your nose day, at least that would accomplish something, there would be no boogers flying around Australia!

This will not make one bit of difference to the fuel companies, If you dont buy on one day so what, you buy the next day, It's not like we all buy every day anyway so what possoble difference can it make.

A far better idea would be to stop buying from one fuel company in particular every day not just one day, every day, FOR EVER. If you are seen at the companies bowsers then your regos number is published on every forum in the country as a disenter. When they close down and if the prices are still too high choose another one and do the same thing all over again.

Just one day is quite rediculous.

Just choose one particular company like BP, I dont really care which one, however I WILL comply.
