Nope, not an Armaguard truck, it was a common occurrence seeming to cycle between a Hiace van and a couple of other small hatchback kinda cars, but always parked across the footpath so there was no way around but to step off the footpath.

Council issue, parking is their domain, besides that those parking rangers are buggars to deal with and arguing will only make it worse. (guess who's bro was a council ranger)

Dont know about the rest of the country, but there is a ticket in queensland for it, something along the lines of disrupting pedestrian traffic.

Some don't know they have dual cards.
I only found out myself this Nokia has it as it was bought for me as a gift.

The people you mention maybe running slightly in front of the law with the burner.

My old man has nostril hairs coming out of his nose by centimetres. He could almost plait them.
He was my great inspiration to buy a nostril hair trimmer

That DOGE and Elon has found 20.7 million people in the US over the age of 100 years claiming social security.

Not bad that's 10 % of the population !

Why is it..... that when I have a nap in the afternoons, having the aircon set at 23 degrees (as is the rest of the house), its pretty much at a perfect temperature, yet when I go to bed late in the evening, 23 degrees seems uncomfortably hot and I end up turning the temp down as far as it'll go?

Why is it, that an Indigenous action group can put a claim of a sacred site on McPhillamy Park because of an Elder's ashes they spread there in 2022..... When he wasn't even born or lived in the area??

The. World. Is. At. Peak. Madness!!! (I hope!)

from what I remember reading the locals said he wasnt one of their tribe, they knew nothing about it. Even the council are dubious

I suspect the media and social media will have a field day but nothing will come of it.

Damn right!…. It’s pretty bloody “sacred” to us motorsport enthusiasts too!
And I reckon there’s a few that have had their ashes scattered at “The Mount” too!

There's a write up on the Auto Action site. I actually heard it mentioned on the radio yesterday, which piqued my interest.

It beggars belief that someone would okay such a thing without doing due diligence first. No doubt, some hand wringing bureaucrat thought they would be a hero with the masses by "doing the right thing".

Always was, always will be... A home to the horsepower.

You think this is bad, if you are a FB user go to the link I provided and have a gander, don't make a comment otherwise you may get thrown out of the group page, but just read the articles & responses, tbh this will show you the mindset of people and will explain all the protests and B.S from indigenous activists you see in this country.
