Crank the Croc
A BIG shout out to the meanie in the Queensland Police Service who made me mum cry for driving my accidentally unregistered car. Yeah, yeah, my error, but the system is stacked towards their perverse revenue raising ‘model’.
I didn’t get any email, I had moved address so didn’t get some apparent physical letter they’d sent – seriously, who still sends letters? So it’s all my fault.
Anyway, the cop was a total misery guts, as though we’d ruined his day. He had the advantage of some laser technology to identify the issue and after pulling her over and being all mealy-mouthed could have let her off, but instead issued a $300 fine and now she’s $300 in the red and we all hate cops. When will they learn? Didn’t see Police Minister, Mark Ryan, cop any fines for tailgating the Premier in his charter jet to Hervey Bay the other day.
Maybe Morayfield voters will send him the ultimate renewal letter in October.
Clock is ticking.
For anyone wanting to go to Beerwah Marketplace for four hours, just a couple of questions. Why and what are you doing there? Just noticed new signs up advising customers that four hours is the limit.
Stay any longer and… well nothing, but just be warned.
It’s a far cry from the heavy-handed-style enforcement a year ago. The state government kyboshed that after some complaints, meaning it’s now a free for all unless somebody wants to invest in boom gates. Please don’t!
Squawk if you love koalas. The lengths people will go to to save the koalas. I like them as a snack myself, but Deb Tarbart from the Koala Foundation is now ‘identifying as a Palm Cockatoo’ to highlight the issue. Apparently identifying as a human hasn’t worked, so Deb is now ‘Palmy’ the cockatoo.
Good luck there, Palmy.
