New Road Safety Minister

[kralster]

Well we vote these people in so it's all your (and mine) fault. Personally I don't give a shit i'll continue to ride my bike how i like in the hills regardless of hoons laws and whatnot.

[Sambo33]

no sympathy at all for this fool!!

why the hell do we want a 'hoon' driver as road safety minister???

[SLED]

Whoa there soldier

For everyones information, traffic offences are not criminal unless they involved death (in which case they would be charged with an actual criminal offence)

ha, give it time Ben....I'll ask you the same question this time next year.

Cop can pull up your traffic offences with 2 clicks of a keyboard.......as far as I know all pollies should have ASIO clearances.

That EX cab driver Koutsantonis will go underground now regardless of this outcome......you won't hear boo from him for awhile unlike the vomit that we've had to put up with from him since the REX prang.

[RubyRS4]

Well, well, well. What can you say that hasn't been said yet.

Shame, shame, shame Mr Koutsantonis! Step down boy ... let someone a little less of a hoon take the role.

What next? An ex-pedophile as the Education and Children's Services Minister?

I've submitted my vote and my comments.

[dark.sky]

A classic case of: Do as I say, not as I do... What next? Amy Winehouse as our anti-drug minister?

So this is why he is so against providing an 'outlet' for enthusiasts.

Because he is one of 'those' who will continue to offend regardless of the availability of motor sport venues.

Take a step back... This is the media people.

How long has it been since these offences were committed? Back in the Uni days as a cab driver possibly? 10k with 30 odd offences. Thats an average of 300 odd per fine so the majority being speeding fines thats only just over the speed limit. My bet is the majority of these offences occurred while trying to make ends meat/driving cabs. Not saying its right but damn the media can be rather nasty and deceiving.

A few articles I've seen of late I believe the enthusiast has a friend in the media. lol

lol thanks for pointing out the 'obvious'.

Kralster will be Kralster.

In my younger years I made some some silly mistakes I regret. Doesn't mean I'd ever repeat some of the crap I involved myself in when I was a young lad.

perhaps he should invest in a bicycle?, there's a guy called graeme whose just posted on adelaide now saying that people can reform....i wonder if he would have said that if tom koutsantonis was a 'P' plater?

[scandyflick]

Yes, March this year, however it's only been a month, hardly time to prove oneself

he also has a government car and chauffeur.

The polly of the hour is going to be on Nova this morning before 8:00

[TALBO]

Apparently he's copped fines for family members, now I'm not suggesting that there might have been false Stat Decs...... bit it certainly isn't looking any better for him!

I call BS. He's claiming family membes have used his car and gotten him the fines. Please. If you're aiming to be in Parliament, you don't allow yourself to take family's traffic offenses and history.

"Oh, it wasn't me!"

[scandyflick]

yeah, he said some of the fines may have been from family members/friends/the dalai lama driving his car, but he'll take responsibility anyway.

thats kinda like saying; 'no i didnt rob that store and shoot the clerk, but ill take the punishment for it none the less.'
