Premier Bracksie instituted the above phrase when he took over from the irrasible Jeff Kennett and then set about to sloganise everything.

Returning from the lovely Accessible Outback of South Australia yesterday arvo it struck us getting across the border how we have signs to confuse everywhere along the highway. There was a litter of signs for the first 500 metres or so after getting back to the Taxation State. I had been keeping well below the 110 kph limit along the Sturt so I could preserve what was in the tank and did get about 1200 kms for the tank too. Minding my own business getting close to Mildura we came across the truck monitoring station which was open.

At that point there was a "Road Work 80" sign followed quickly by a "Road Work 60" and then apparently very quickly by a "Road Work 40" that no driver saw as everyone was being stopped by police and fortunately warned. It really made us think Victoria was no longer the Place to be. Police pulled up a stream of vehicles over the 'speed limit' but I believe the limit signs were too close to be acceptible for a court and were positioned for entrapment. They just wanted to make a point . There was apparently NO ROADWORK there.
