The response from Territorians is fantastic. I am so proud that the overwhelming majority of the public can see through the governments plan to limit our freedoms.
Whats next to go?
1. Hunting and shooting restrictions with severe penalities with possible jail terms?
2. Total banning of fireworks!!
3. The introduction of statehood (just look at other States to see how their citizens are worse off)
4. The abolishment of many councils to form bigger ones that are easier to control by the government.
5. Licenses for using a boat and even catching a fish!
6. Regulation of the use of 4 Wheel drive vehicles as is the case in some southern states.
7. The introduction of a whole raft of new regulations and fines just like the rest of Australia (Interestingly 20 000 new regulations have been intoduced with the labor government in the UK and 200 to date and counting by the Martin Administration)
Virtually everyone I have seen realises that our unique lifestyle is under serious attack.
The sad truth is that we are being misled and I have no doubt at all that the Martin Administration will lose the next election over this.
Many people have asked me what the CLP are doing. I have obtained a firm commitment from them that they will repeal this law as soon as they regain office. As from Sunday the 11th of February a series of television commercials will be aired confirming this. Also we will inform people using various media about the public rally on the 13/2/07 on the steps of parliament house at 10.00pm.
However we cannot be complacent so please spread the word as the more people we get to the rally the better so we can put an end to this right now. As we demand that the 130km/ph limit be removed immediately before more people die of fatigue.
Let me be clear about the fact that if there is sufficient statistical hard evidence that driving over a specific speed was the cause of any accidents then I would be the first to agree to a limit being imposed. However no such evidence exists and unfortunately the longer we delay more people will die or become injured.
Please help us to get Clare Martin to see that she has made a mistake as the report she has based her decisions on is flawed.
Thank you and you all make me so proud
Pity as we really need all the support we can muster. You would only need to be there for 30 mins max.
Thank you anyway.
Thank you and I met Jodeen Carney for the first time today and what a great leader she is. Alice Springs got it right, pity Darwin did not see it as labor has to go.
