New Road Safety Minister

[SLED]

yeah I think you're right Dale as far as him going underground for awhile and not being as vocal anymore but I'm concerned that he has already laid his cards on the table in relation to "No Dragstrip" and me thinks that won't change........otherwise the oldies will also perceive him as the hypocrite that we know him to be.

According to AdelaideNow, the fines are now paid...... funny that......

[Damo_R34]

Yeah star wars jedi style, *waves hand* mr admin officer, you will not find any unpaid records, move along

Trust me when I say this: The road safety debate is irretrievably broken.

Take this as an example:

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,27...06-2761,00.html

Note the headline: teenage hoon.

Not teenage car thief trying to outrun police.

Apparently hooning is a more noteable offense than car theft & avoiding arrest.

Which tells you all you need to know about the value judgements of police, journalists & politicians.

Look clearly Tom Koutsantonis is a clown & an archetypal hypocrite, but then again are any of the state politicians proclaiming to be tough on law & order any different?

And he's outta here...

Koutsantonis quits

April 20, 2009 01:25pm

ROAD safety Minister Tom Koutsantonis has bowed to public outrage and resigned from his portfolio over revelations he is a serial traffic offender.

Mr Koutsantonis held a press conference at the State Administration Centre a short time ago to announce that he is stepping down from the role.

The Sunday Mail and AdelaideNow revealed yesterday that the newly appointed minister has racked up more than 30 speeding and other traffic offences. These include running red lights and speeds exceeding the limit by more than 30km/h.

LOL at all the he's not gonna bow down talk and then bam normsta hits us with it.

[Damo_R34]

Damn, worst outcome for us! But who knows, the new minister might be in favour of a government-funded track

And cops will f**king fly.

[RubyRS4]

I say hooray!

Sure someone worse might fill the position, but at least the warning is out ... the public can make a difference well after the election.

Now ... let's look into Rann's past and dig up some dirt ... "oh, there's something here about his ex and bikies"!!!

What was he thinking taking the job, theyll never find out about all the bad stuff ive done on the road.

but saying that the media will make a mountain out of ant hill on anyone.

[Damo_R34]

anyone else working in town want to go down to parliament house, stand out the front, and chant "NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY, GOOOODBYEEEEEEEE"

[AndrewJZX100]

Karma, is a wonderful thing

[Boof]

well do a tom memorial cruise

[TALBO]

LOL, while he gets pulled over for speeding all the Skylines all go past and escape the defect notices. Nice ploy that.....

[-RBD2-]

now if only big mike would follow tom's lead...whos gonna be the first to spot him at their local centrelink?

[Minibats]

I sent a clear email to his office with the NA NA NAAAAA NAAAAA HEY HEY GOODBYE chant lol

[Damo_R34]

BAHAHAHAHA, pretty sure i just saw Madaz on Seven News with a blurred face and deep darth vader voice, am i right steve? blue polo with black edging?

[SLED]

now if only big mike would follow tom's lead...whos gonna be the first to spot him at their local centrelink?

he's only quit that particular porfolio he's not unemployed yet.........unless the opposition push him out the back door altogether.

I knew the only way out was to fall on his own sword....couldn't see Rann sacking him as a result of public & media pressure, although he would've given Tom the Hoon a fairly obvious hint to dump that part of his job.
