Cheers Axle.

As you say mate!, if its not a worry to others then why not enjoy!


Cheers Axle.

Gday Hairs,
We just had going away party version 7.9!
The sheds full of rubber and smells like a tyre factory .....there's a brand new new commodore parked out the front waiting to be picked up (with a truck) that wasnt so lucky.
There are a few sore heads.....but what a great day!!!!! They've reopened the GCR.

Yipeeeee!!!!

Good Stuff mate.
Keep in touch, safe trip.

Joe, the size of the fridge has got bugger all to do with it,
it has to do with how much grog you can carry untill the next "refill point",
Ie' do you wait for the most place to buy your fuel,
plan your trip and dodge the restriction area's and cop it sweet in
the fruit and veggie area's.they apply to every one.
Cheers.

the most expensive place to buy your fuel

Consumption is fine, but how far do you get on a litre. I only seem to get as far as the nearest tree before needing a refill.

...and there I was in the Bungles with more than a couple of frosties chilled in the Engle and not a soul to share them with..what a shame Gerry. Next time perhaps ;-)

Cheers Mick

there is a better way, the alcohol is NOT the problem and that is what we need to change, it is the people that have access to it without any form of control ........
Drinking alcohol is a BIG responsibility for any person as is driving a car, we have to get a licence to drive a car and are restricted to limits when we get it for the first time .....
I am working on a system, with the help of "others" where each and every person has to have a licence to drink, starting on low % for a probationary period and if clear get a full licence ......
By now most reading this will throw up there arms in disgust but here are the "points" that make it work ...

You get a licence based on your "history" if previous drinking offences you are limited and "earn" a full licence if you stay clean for a period of time..
You have to show your licence when you buy grog, clear licence and you can buy what you want (casks, bottles, spritis ect), restriced and you can only buy from the restricted list ....
If you show a licence that is not yours you can not buy .....
You can not buy for others without a licence as you will lose yours .....
If a doctor declares you have a drinking problem you lose your licence ....
Drink driving you lose BOTH licences .....
A grog outlet will lose its licence if it gets caught supplying you with grog without your licence .....
The licence will have your piccy on it so you need to carry it at all times .....
It will have a magnetic strip on it and ALL pubs and clubs will have a card swipe on the door, no licence you simply can not get in, even if you want you cant ...
By now you can see the point in it all, the GOVT hate it as it will work and will be cheaper than all the present system combined but means they actually have to do some work at last ....
Wont go into more but it will work and i hope to hell we get it in....

What you are proposing has its merits in certain areas. But you try bringing that in in the big cities and you would be laughed out of town. If you brought it in in problem areas you would be accused of discrimination. I think education is the only way and as you and I both know that will not work unless those receiving the education really want to learn.
Good luck with the Rodeo.........

I live right within the "problem" areas and guess what, they want it...... we have lived in different areas all over the NT and now in QLD and the money alone that gets poured into education is shocking and it has not done a single thing ...... and wont, instead they are banning it from being sold and that affects those that abide by the laws causing them to bend them as far as possible so they can enjoy what was in the past NOT A PROBLEM ...
The whole point of it is that someone who has a problem with drinking can cause trouble when drunk, maybe even hurt someone and the next day when they sober up they can waltz in again and get some more without anything stopping them and drift off into trouble again ... if sober a publician can get in trouble for NOT serving them, even if he knows they are a problem drinker, they have threatened "discrimiation" for not being served ..
We have lived in TOTALLY dry areas and the grog around is shocking and because it is "dry" it is hidden and the drinking is not seen until it gets out of control and then blows up big time, using this method it brings it out into the open where it can be seen and controlled .......
It is already being used in some areas now and with great success, lets face it if you could be certain you could buy the same products from say Katherine or any outlet in Aust as you could buy in your home town whilst you are on holidays then you would put up your hand to get a licence would you not ???
We had not been to Perth for 5 years and was suprised to find some outlets in PERTH now restrict what you can buy, went down to Kattanning and the same there now, even SHUT down when they suspect something is happening, Geraldton was the same ...... the list gets bigger as we travelled so it is not restriced to just "some problem areas" ..... just we choose not to recognise that it is now Australia wide ....
Rodeo is going well, thanks Skip

Joe Grace,
Makes a lot of sense to me what you are saying.
Only one problem i can see. Too easy and simple.
