State revenue raisers?

C'mon...you're kidding aren't you?

I really bust my gut to work extremely long hours so I can pay much more tax than I believe I should so it can be redistributed to the lumpen prolateriat who don't work or sponge off the taxpayers or to have my hard earned money spent on crap like art galleries, womens studies, drug 'rehab' programmes etc etc

I don;t make the fines attached to the offences. I issue tickets to those that blatantly choose to ignore what the majority want.

Speed cameras and increases in fines are a product of increased Government spending because too many people want the Government to provide things that, I believe, should have a bit more user pays so they are not abused.

For the people who do not tick the rectum adaptor.....

The unit is a remote unit that sits behind a plastic part of the bumper. The unit is not inhibited by plastic, so it can be completley consealed.

There is a remote speaker that is located in the cabin and it can be activated by many means. Unused switches, removable plugs, etc...

When a signal is detected it beeps, but there are no lights.

Contrary to the laws they do work very well and they also make you more aware of the conditions and your speed.

I am hoping there will be a spot behind the bar when the T eventually arrives

So Zap according to Plonky and co, they have detector detectors that will detect your detector everytime you go past them, and you say they work very well but are unable to be found with a routine search, cause they are hidden under your bumper somewhere, so, can I ask how many times you've been actually searched, cause with the large detector fines, I would think you would have to have been searched dozens of times by now or I'm not getting something ere

Plonky and the other police on this forum,

I do not want to infer that you are a glorified tax colectors, you are not, you do the job you are paid to do any I respect your position and opinion. I have and will always respect the job our people in blue do for our communities.

I on the other had am a tax collector, I own a business and collect GST for the government....jeez I feel lucky. Not only do I pay heaps of personal tax I also get the privlage of paying heaps of tax because I employ 12 people and make a profit.......

The last thing I wanna do is give any more of my had earned because of my habitual tendancy to exceed the posted speed restrictions that are placed on our roads.

[ZAP]

I have only been searched once and that was because I slammed my brakes on and the officer saw my car dip the second he activated his radar. I drive about 80% of the time around sydney with the unit on and pass at least one hwp every day that have active radar operating. I also live and work near the one of the largest northshore hwp command so there are plenty of radar cars around. I have never seen or heard of anyone with the RD detectors, but my unit is apparently undetectable. by the way RD,D's are mad by the same companies that make the RD units, so they will always make the newer units undetectable.

You've lost me on that one.....

The Government is elected by us to spend OUR money where we think it should go. If WE don't like it, WE vote them out.

Now obviously the people who pay State taxes in NSW and Victoria have elected to return Governments who spend OUR money in putting stationary speed cameras on the roads, and fund biased research programmes from Monash University and the like.

So therefore, the electorate have decided it is more important for the Government to spend OUR money on things that we believe should be supplied for by the Government. These include (Constitutionally obliged) State services such as Public Transport, Hospitals, Education and Law and Order. Because of such a huge increase in demand, the money has to come from somewhere and therefore cameras are sprouting up like heroin dealers waiting outside the (taxpayer funded) safe injecting rooms.

Brainwashed? I don't think so.....All I know is that my hard earned money that I make from all the extra hours that I choose to work (about 70 hours per week) is taxed by the federal, State and Local Govt. and is redistributed to a lot of people and a lot of programmes that I don;t believe should be getting it.

State Govts. put up speed cameras, rip off the investor by way of stamp duty (x 3 for a house in NSW), have a CPI increase each financial year of penalty notices (Infringements etc) payroll tax (another penalty for having a successful and expanding business) etc etc

Now I don't care whether you have a radar detector or not....if you think the detector will help you beat a good radar operator, then all power to you. As some of the people here already know, I'm not overly focused on speed enforcement to the minimum standard, because I work on the principle of congnitive consistency.

A good driver will always stop at a Stop sign, indictae when he changes lanes and will ensure his car is safe and compliant. That same good driver may also regularly drive at a speed which he deems safe to the road (the old 85th percentile)

A bad driver may not speed but he also doesn't obey Stop signs, doesn't think indicators should be used, or he may drive at an excessive speed all the time and rely upon his radar detector to give early warning.

This is the driver that I look for. The driver that has an inflated estimation of his ability and that will come unstuck when he gets it confused with his ambition. The serial speeder that uses a detector, or listens to the trucking channel to avoid be caught WILL be the same guy that disobeys Stop signs, traffic lights, doesn't use indicators when changing lanes or has inappropriate modifications on only one part of his car so it is unbalanced (such as mods to give huge power outputs but neglects brakes and handling)

Certainly not preaching, just stating facts and I don't give a toss how expensive the fine is. If it is deserved, they get it.

Hospital waiting lists in NSW. If you are a prisoner (even on remand) there are no hospital waiting lists - you receive priority treatment. This includes surgery for dental work etc

Sickness benefits - paid to losers that cannot work because they have a psychosis from cannabis abuse or have pancreatic cancer because of alcoholism

If you are in a Housing Commission house, you can report a break and enter to the Police, take the report number to Centrelink and receive an additonal two weeks rental assistance

It's a bloody disgrace!

I support Plonkster on SOME ,not all of his initiatives for a better world.

I for one am sick too death of being punished by the taxman for years of study and slog, often working for less than than the normal hourly rate of the chaps on the factory floor compared with the great unwashed who continue to live and exist on the fruits of MY labours ( should use efforts) with continued social support from the Gvt.

Why bother , punish success and reward mediocrity is the reality of our ministerial masters.

[ZAP]

This just shows you that the majority are silent and the minority are vocal. This is why we get stupid laws, dumb court rulings and bad polititans.

We whinge about a better way of doing something, but we do not do anything because we think it will not make a difference.

I admire your inner strenght Plonky, going to work must feel like 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards some day. You must see the worst our population can produce with very little gratification.

All I know is you have my support.
