Thread: Bullbars in Victoria

By the way,

I also don't believe in paying to goto parts of our country which I was born in as well as having to pay to get there in the first place when no facilities are provided.

But if there are facilities provided then Im happy to pay.

While in Toolangy 1 weekend we camped at a campsite where there were toilets and washing up facilities but no water for washing up and even the dog wouldnt go into the toilet as well as there was no firewood for about 3kms and that had to be cut from a logging area.

Also when touring around Alice Springs we went to a few of the gorges and a couple of them were run by the how do I put it, well tanned australians which were very well looked after with well maintained tracks and one of them even had a kiosk that after walking though gorges all day and needed more water and food was well recieved.

But airs rock was a big disapointment as it was well over priced and too many rules and regulations that to me was degrading to anyone who was not part of the Aboriginal culture.

Fine they were here first but I think we have been here for long enough by now to be not giving them money for nothing.

If they wnat to do something and be paid for it thats fine but to just sit on their respective Asses no matter what colour our skin is or how big your government organisation is doesnt deserve payment.

Here's a thought folks....
Vent at the ballot box! Contact your local member and any opposition candidates and put them on notice.
Sure, elections are a while away in most states/territories but you lucky folks in NSW can gagg Scruby and the anti-funbar lobby for good! Remember, we don't vote for a Gov't, we vote for a local member to represent us and our interests. Contact them and get their leaning on the subject in writing.

Yes maybe one can't make a difference but the will of the many...yada yada yada....

btw, I am looking for a nice bar for my airbagged D1.

Good thing i'm building a Winch bar from my Orig Bumper........

I must be Exempt

This is what I mean, what difference would it make hitting a pedestrian with a standard bumper on a defender or a bullbar.
The difference is less damage to the defender with a bullbar.
Does it mean I could cut the uprights off the TJM and have it repowder coated and they wont pick on me?
I have sent Emails and letters to local members before regarding Fire prevention and grazing rights and all I have got in return is Thankyou for your letter and we will pass it on blah blah blah.
The only thing that counts is a protest that either peeves people off and wakes them up to the issues or peeves people off and makes things worse for every one of us.

polling day is the only way to send a protest
most of these political turkeys all tow the party line and are too scared to wander away from the fine $ line
so yes you can call them send letters or emails the end result will be you lost $
just bring on polling day and dont be a one party voter try being a swinging voter they hate that

I'm no more racist than most Aussies (that means I probably am racist!) but I don't think that was called for.

In this case, they provided a well looked after area and tracks so they deserve better than that. There is no reason why that couldn't have been written as "indigenous Australians" or even "local aboriginals".

Sorry if I've offended anyone.

Oh, I object to paying to visit our country and the need for permits.

I'm not racist. In fact, I used to like Aborigines......... until they made it compulsory

Ron no matter what you call them some one will take offense and that is my point.
Indigeones Australians, Local Aboriginals or what ever they want to call them you got the point dont have a go at me because I didnt know what that specific group of australians wanted to be called as I didnt ask them.
I made an informed objective remark and you got a racist remark out of it, so that makes you the problem not me.
