Yet another show of pure idiocy by our ranga leader

Got this email forwarded to me from a mate who is involved with the Automotive Aftermarket Association with the following attachments. My god she really is a talk first think later kind of leader isn't she, she's worse than Abbott!

I think Stuart sums up everything in his letter to the PM perfectly. Talk about spewing mindless drivel out to get a vote, but to heap a load of drivel over a major contributor to the country in all aspects, taxation, quality of life, etc... and whether women like it or not, the automotive element of life is here to stay and it's our creative nature to do what we do as hobbyists and enthusiasts.

very nice response......those are without doubt some of the stupidest wastes of public money that you can see.
You only have to see what happened i nthe US with these schemes to realise what a waste of resources they area.

The problem we have is that issues like this are publicised in the mainstream media down a 1-way channel, i.e. the PM can get her voice to the public but can the public have any chance of rebuttal? We're kidding ourselves. Should the AAAA have the same access to the media to voice their concern (read: properly debate the issue), you can bet your testicles that she would break her spine in yet another backflip because she would be crucified with the points raised.

well lets see
this is the year 2010 the net is everywhere ...most if not all car clubs have a presence on the net ..............hmmmm maybe a levy australia wide of $5 per membership should go into a fighting fund to pay a lobbyist to get our point across ,we need to get somewhat organised or our hobby will go down the shitter because we are all labeled "hoons"

we ALL need to think very seriously about who we vote for ....the USA has SEMA to lobby the government BUT we have nothing !

wouldnt it be nice if car enthusiasts in Australia actually had a voice in parliament !

A lot of years ago Barry Unsworth from memory started putting pressure on sporting shooters, tried to ban people from having guns & made out that all people who had guns were criminals. Cant remember which order but he did get the ass & the shooters party was formed.

I would think there would be more car people than shooters in this country & dont see why something similar could not work for car people.

Thats because the 4WD and Fishing guys got together with the Shooters Party to protect common interests.......its now called the Shooters and Fishers Party.

Yes they did all get together & the more they have the more say they have to stop outspoken do-good assholes trying to tell us what we can & can't have.
