Last week we had to put in writing to speak at our councils monthly general meeting. What a load of BS. 7pm start.
Meeting opens: Apologies for non attendances. Minutes of previous meeting. what's on tonight's agenda. GET ON WITH IT. I want to go home already. DA approvals Blar Blar Blar.
Bunch of old farts, For and against. God when is it going to be my turn. I think I nodded off.
Oh yes that's me. Wish to address the council on the matter of being booked for parking in front of my own home of 30 years. After craping on for 3 minutes they all look at one another.
For and against 7-2 in our favour to refer our mater to the SDRO. To have the matter put down.. Well at lease I don't have to cough up yet.
They eat well after the meeting. No grog Plenty of sambo's, Arnott's. No party pies or sauage roll's tea coffee or juice & water. They said a lite super afterwards. I should have eaten my dinner.
Well At lease if I become homeless, I will know where to get a free late night's feed once a month.
Hey Jim

....sounds like werk in progress...lol.....what if the SDRO decides to put YOU down instead?......sooooo Jim did you check the Councillors parking arrangements with a tape measure.....taking photos of anyone touching the white line...in Rugby League that's considered out!...sounds like your main grievance at the meeting was you could not eat/drink $106 worth....!..lmao....
Bet they think twice before leaving a $106 fine on your vehicle again...more likely going to be $1000 as a repeat offender....?
Keep us posted....riveting stuff.....Hoo Roo

sdro . not likely . I was o/s , got home to find my car had been driven . I had put it in a garage for repairs & storage.
Got home , a bluey in the mail . Sent a letter to Police , going to contest this , within the letter , was a copy of my passport
stamp , my itinery , boarding passes AND the receipt for work & storage of said car . Got a letter back from sdro / PAY UP!!!
Yep I had one Everything Right . But no th "revenue raisers" were Not interested . They just Insisted I pay up.
Funny thing though on the original infringement was the fine & 1 demerit point . After I sent in All the proof I had , that I
was Not the driver . No demerit point came off my licence . But sdro , still Insisted on the dollars.

A while back two councillors from our shire flew over to Paris for a climate change conference attended by world leaders, $6,000 each funded by ratepayers. Lots of shire wardens fining people for petty offences around our way, probably trying to redeem the $12,000.

A funeral home is also a good place for a free feed. My dad went to a funeral for the wrong person once. Had a good feed and a cuppa before he realised he was at the wrong funeral. Not sure how often he repeated this but he thought it was a good idea.

Brother-in-law got a ticket forwarded for a police issued parking ticket for a car he had no idea about. Rang the police about it. They wouldn't tell him who had forwarded the ticket. Privacy issues. Cops realised the stupidity and gave a business name. The penny dropped. Was a car dealer where he'd dropped off a transporter full of cars the week before. A salesman took one car for the weekend, did some silly things, intercepted the fine and had it sent to my brother-in-law as his address was on the delivery papers.
