Well we all know that Mr Rann, esteemed State leader for SA, made way to many promises than he could afford at election time, plenty of us saw through his bull, and ever since we have been suffering the constant rise of backdoor taxes/charges and worst of all the continual cut back's to country people's services and almost zero road funding, affording us the worst road's in the country.

But he, and his best cash cow mates, the SA police force, have been pumping the public harder than ever for him to try and save face a little, and have hit rock bottom now, according to a report tonight on TT that they have been having a blitz, and issuing $66 pines by the plenty, " for having your car for private sale"
Apparently it is ilegal to have a, for sale sign, on your car while legally parked, but not if your driving it !!!!!!!!!!!, apparently to stop other drivers writing down details while they are driving, this wouldnt happen while driving next to him?

What a croc-a- bleep e, so that means you have to take it off while parked at the traffic light's, what about my car, has sign writing all over it for my business, as do thousands of others including govt buses and police cars??? does that mean i am liable too? Would another driver dare write down my details???

Give us a break, just cut the bull and get on with running the state with the funds you waste, and stop kicking the little man on the street trying to get by!

Interstate sellers had better check local laws before trying to sell your car, or you too may be asked to contribute to govt wastage.

A Fed up but Feeling much better now, Pesty

Pity your Victorian cousins Pesty. Bracks and Co, a well known gang of bushrangers and ne'er do wells, have just OK'd a 55% increase in the hours to be spent by the Vic Plods on detecting speeding offences in that fair State.

We can expect a knock on effect with all the other States.

Don't worry Pesty, Media Mike has it all under control - just check the full page and TV adverts telling us how good their budget was.

And I believe theres a possibility that they'll spend more money on hospitals - no doubt to appoint more administrators to create more paper work for nurses and doctors.

Now, I'll get back to planning next years trips................:-))))

We should be OK Pesty. As far as Rann is concerned, the state doesn't exist pass Gepps Cross. AND ther cannot be anymore bad news as he is still in the country. (for the bebefit of others, our illustrious premiere always goes overseas when things have hit the brick chite house)

Voters have short memories. Media Mike was one Bannon's team that bankrupted SA with the State Bank.

Life's great and it just keeps getting better

Could be worse ... here in NSW we've got Morris Iemma ... famous for sitting on his hands and doing nothing. His best effort was proclaiming Pablo Escobar as the player who kicked the goal to put Australia into the Soccer world cup.

Escobar was, of course, the notorious Columbian cocaine "drug lord" until he was shot trying to escape police.

Jack,

The problem we've got is Debnam stumbles from one disaster to another, much like Iemma.

I hope the NSW voters bite the bullet and toss the current incompetents out on their arses. It won't get any better if we give them another 3 years in office.

It's worth the gamble as we don't have much to lose.

I gotta agree, sadly. Proves the old saying that Opposition parties don't win government, Governments lose it ..... Debnam is on the "tell them what they want to hear" roll. I hope someone it taking notes for when/if he gets in.

I always thought Barry O'Farrell was a far batter choice as Opposition Leader than Debnam. Hard to beat the factions though ....
