Bicycles, bicycles and dammed bicycles, they are a god dam fool of a contraption inherently unstable, mainly used for entertainment. Only a daredevil would ride them in an uncontrolled environment. Cyclists are another sector of the great unwashed masses that live off the charity of the taxpayer/ratepayer and whinge about not getting a fair go. They are unlicensed, ride unregistered vehicles and make no contribution to the upkeep of the road system as a whole. Anybody who would ride a bike on the road system as it exists today needs to seriously look at the odds of survival. It is tough enough driving a car with its built in safety features. Cyclists need to be licensed and pay the same fee as a motorist; they further need to pay a flat fee of $500 to operate their bike on a roadway and a poll tax should be levied on all riders for highway upkeep and furthermore, keep off the footpaths. Capiche.

Comment: Malcolm’s choice: Rudd’s UN no-go hurts both men
Bernard Keane of Crikey is talking through his hat. This is not a question of bipartisan support for a well proven and trusted public figure. It is common sense in the face of a man who has proven himself not only incompetent for the job but mentally unstable in holding positions of authority where judgement and tolerance is required. Rudd because of his mental health issues is automatically disqualified for any position of responsibility in the public arena.
Four Corners: Northern Territory Indigenous groups not consulted on royal commission
Turnbull has made a big mistake in setting up a Royal Commission over these Four Corners’ allegations. The Commission will become a platform for every deadbeat and his dog to rail against the Correctional system. Crimes by Aboriginals are out of control in NT and the local indigenous community will not accept responsibility for their wilful and criminal ways.
Bali Nine: Imminent Indonesia executions prompt mercy plea from Myuran Sukumaran’s mother
Mrs Raji Sukumaran makes the inevitable cry from the heart but she has still not comprehended the enormity of her son’s crime. That I suppose is the prerogative of a mother, never to accept responsibility for her son’s criminality. Myuran Sukumaran never showed true remorse by cooperating fully with the police. He never made full and frank admissions and refused to provide the police with a clear and precise description of the drug importation racket he ran and organised. Mrs Sukumaran would rather cry over a bunch of deadbeats in an Indonesian penitentiary than save the young Australian lives that would have been lost to eight kilos of heroin on the streets of Sydney.
Further to Four Corners: Dylan Voller strapped to chair multiple times
By the way, the true and tried solution to these ferals is not, of course, the treatment they recently received but the methods of old; the judicious application of corporal punishment in the best interest of the child. Instead of spending millions of dollars on a lawyers’ talk-fest, Mr Turnbull should hire the Master of Discipline of Changi Prison and have him come down here and administer ten stokes of the rattan cane to the backsides of these brats with a further understanding that if they re-offend they can look forward to further canings until they become law abiding citizens. The fathers of these ferals should also be caned for dereliction of parental duty.
