Pedestrian Council Webpage Hacked

'This sort of thing probably doesn't help the cause in the long run. '

Agree, a criminal offence has now been committed, it shouldn't be too difficult for the owners of the hacked web site to 'turn it all around' to make the perpertrator look like nothing more than a vandal who resorts to illegal acts to (try) and make an arguement.

DIO: you've told us before that you migrated to Oz a few years ago... it wasn't, by any chance, from Germany was it...?

Mike I think you've responded to the wrong thread. Your comment is irrelevant to the subject matter. Take your tablets and go back to bed.

My wife immigrated from Germany 7 years ago, Mike and would like you to explain what you mean.
Yes her english is more than sufficient to understand your reply.

Certainly. Good morning Mrs Steve.

The German people are not, on the whole, noted for their sense of humour.

Mike Harding

Mike ya bloody dag, some people sense of humour isnt as well defined as others, you certainly redefined obtuse mate hahahahah

Steve, 900mm deep and 1.5km wow that wouldve been heartstopping, did u walk it first?

Hi Bonz
Not a chance some big lizards in there.

hmmm Always wondered about the wisdom of walking the waters up your wqay

None of those photo's contained a 4x4

Doug its a little bit hard to drive through 900mm of water and take photo's at the same time, thats why I took a before and after shot.
But if you don't believe me try this, ring Parks Australia North tomorrow and ask for Sylvia Wellings (0889391120) and ask her if I drove to Darwin through the flood waters,It was I that reported the damaged bridge at the West Alligator west branch, then ask for the South Alligator ranger station and ask the 2 rangers that watch me do it.
Then tomorrow I will find the photo's of my wife and I driving across the Adelaide River flood plains last April with the water about 800mm.
Then tomorrow night you can post your apology.

I used to drive trucks , many years I spent on our Highways and outback roads, one of the worst places was the Hume Hwy for blokes who would sit around a table and brag how he could get from S to M , or how he was going to blow some caravanner off the road , that sort of talk really pi$$es me off , So what have we here today in 2007 , more bragging ,

Maybe this was yours

No its not mine it belonged to Gondwana tours and expeditions, and the guy who put it there was Don Don.
If you don't believe that ring the NT News.
That's actually the Magela creek on the way to Ubirr .
By the way I have photo's of me driving through that at 1mt last year after cyclone Monica.

Well what do you know...maybe it wasn't hacked. I was just scanning down the page when I saw the ad and took it to be just that, an ad. He probably doesn't realise he's doing them a favour.

Either way I reckon he loses. Damn fine looking bar too!

I have the same feeling. Put there on purpose to explain the 5 poster bullbar.
Hence the name for the range - sick puppy.
Read the test results and then read the add, I wouldn't want to get hit by a 5 poster like that if I was crossing the road.

Of course the test results on being hit by a bullbar don't mention the fact that it is better not to be hit by a vehicle in the first place, bull bar or not. So the onus is on the pedestrian and the driver (the controller of the vehicle, vehicles don't decide by themselves to hit pedestrians) not to be hit by a vehicle.
So careful driving by the driver, and pedestrians considering where and how they walk next to roads should stop injuries more than banning bullbars.
(Have you heard of many pedestrians being hit by a vehicle when not near a road?)

I know, it has all been said before.
