Who is the half-witted MORON who decides what advertising goes on the TV for Queensland Transport, Main Roads, and the Queensland Police?
There is a concerted campaign on at the moment showing the old 'Blood on the streets' advert saying that police will be out in force "this weekend" and that speeding won't be tolerated.
This advert has been around for a few years and it is a waste of taxpayers money as well as intentionally trying to deceive the public.
The road toll in Queensland is DOUBLE what it was last year at the same time so it is blatantly obvious that the methods that the government is condoning and the police are using is TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE.
There was a transport safety summit on up here a couple of weeks ago and it's not hard to guess what the result was: introduction of fixed speed cameras into Queensland. Nick was right but he guessed at '6 months' at the end of 2005 - it happened much sooner than that.
No bets will be taken on whether money for speed camera infrastructure will be found before money for hospital and school infrastructure. Anyone who bets on the latter will be making a losing bet.

Heh. And how many ks over the limit are you allowed? 10% or 3 ks only?
Welcome to the world of revenue.
10km + 1 in Queensland.
I am certain that if a judge could be found in Victoria that wasn't on the kickback payroll that every single fine down there would be reversed.
Car manufacturers HAVE to make speedometers with a tolerance of +/- 10% because wear on tyres and clutches and even teeth on the speedo drive makes the readings WRONG.
How many people in Victoria have lost their jobs because of illegimate and illegal fines?
Too many I would suggest.
