Need I mention that the Gold Coast is forging ahead in replacing Sydney as the 'Crime Capital of Australia' ? I guess crims like the warm weather too.

    Yeah, and they are mostly blow- ins from the deep south.

    How long since you have actually driven up here? Or are you just repeating an urban myth.

    Two weeks ago Bob, I frequently travel through rural and outback Queensland where there are 'Development Roads' which are basically a goat track that doesn't meet Australian standard for a road but can be called a Development Road to to avoid national compliance to standards. I put this down to years of no fuel excise as charged by all other states (which went into road development) but not in Qld where Joe boasted "cheapest petrol in Australia". He was right, but the state is still paying the cost today.

    If you drive our outback roads, you will realise we are the most decentralised State in Australia, with more area to cover than any other. Even W.A.. when the entire state is taken into account. Victoria fits into our state many times. Development roads are , in the main, reliant on Federal funds to " develop them " I'll get back to you on the fuel excise.

    When I arrived in 1988 I asked why all the four wheel drive vehicles. Usual response was that the roads were so bad a normal vehicle would last long. Today I look out my window and I see a road so full of subsidence , patches and gravel in fill , and yet only 8 km from the cbd.

    Queenslands crap roads are part of a cunning plan to discourage the annual invasion of Mecians. Sadly not working

    Add to that Kidman Way, Mitchell Highway, Kamilaroi Highwaym, Castlereagh Highway and the Newell.
    Those who reside in silicate dwellings should not lob hard objects.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
