First they came for the JewsCaptain Obvious said:The ALP, like all political parties, respond only to the media. We may be right, but so long as the media is not on our side, we have no hope of getting anything realistic to happen.
Currently the nit-wits are screaming about how P-platers need more restrictions. This is because the large majority of people are not p-platers. Australians like to grip their hands around the throat of certain "groups" because they always have to worry about *something*, instead of just shutting the fuck up and jumping off a cliff. Of course the roads minister is going to implement laws, because he wants to be seen as answering the electorate. This is exactly why American judges and police are shit. Because they are elected, they always have to answer to the public, and when you have a public who are shit, then it makes things bad.
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

good summary of the Australian attitude, all full license drivers are jumping on the bandwagon in 'outrage' because they are not young drivers.
Young drivers today represent a much smaller percentage of road fatalities than they did 30 years a ago, not only that but compared to young drink driving 30 years ago we are angels.... mainly because currently we are the age group which drink drives[or atleast gets caught drink driving] the least. We are the only age group to seriously pick up on the designated driver campaign. We are also the group who are most aware of road rules [second place are 25-40, last place is the elderly].
Compared to when our parents were kids, we are the safest generation on the road this country has ever seen.
