It’s a very sad state of affairs all over Australia with youth crime. I have two coppers in my street both nice blokes but they also admit that due to the enormous workload brought on by crime and now the increase in DV that new recruits only stay three years because of the stress. Not to mention the racial tensions in some communities.
As was said on the tv this morning, policing is now just a job, not a career as it once was.

Our neighbours on the north side of us put their house on the market while we were away in winter, one very interested party happened to be a copper, I thought U beaut, it'll be great to have a cop car parked next door, a young couple with 2 young kids ended up buying it, and they are great neighbours, we're lucky that we've never had any trouble or crime here but it would have still been nice to have that cop car next door.

Why are foreign car companies allowed to display prime time ads on Australian TV for their vehicles showing them driving on right hand side of the road. This must cause confusion for our "P" plate drivers?
haha yes, P platers are confused enough as it is, best way to avoid these adds is to not watch the free to air TV channels,

I was in kalbarri a few years back and had a backpacker couple driving straight at me, I had to flash my lights before they realised they were on the wrong side of the road.

It's easy to do. I did it a couple of times in America. One day I came out of the post office onto a four lane road, looked right and all was clear so I headed left into two lanes of fast aproaching traffic on my side. We all stopped and it took me a few moments to work out what had gone wrong. I quickly reversed back into the post office driveway. Regular roads are ok, it's at the intersections where everybody else gets it wrong 😂

and yes don't forget "Peak Oil" what a calamity, the world will be out of oil by the year??? when in reality they had the taps turned down to cause a panic and get the price up, in the end after a few threats here and there the taps miraculously were turned back up, and well you know what happened the world was awash with oil again and it was worth bugger all again there for awhile, but hey they got smart again and now look what is happening,

Not forgetting that the untapped oil reserves in WA will last thousands of years.
