One thing is certain, the Government will not go without.

Of course the government would have less need to tax us if we all stopped expecting the government to give us things like an education system, health services, police forces, defence forces, transport infrastructure and all those other things.

So it is really our fault. :)

Was it 90 or was it 95? Every advisory sign I have seen ( bar one) ends with a 5 rather than a 0. I assume that helps distinguish them from speed limit signs.
There used to be one on a corner on the Clyde Mountain that showed 80, but it was changed a few years ago to 85.

Pic of my favourite speed sign (only one I've ever seen). Can't remember where it is, somewhere in NSW on the back roads between the Oxley Hwy and Qld border. Came across it on a ride and we had to take advantage of it given it was a perfect day with no traffic.

We have advisory signs with even speed limits... it is WA, we kind of do things differently
