Agree, I’ll vote for you at the next election solely on this platform alone.

Nah, I’m good.

I don’t care if beaches are roads. My point is that beaches should not be roads.

I was over on Moreton Island recently and walking south of the resort. Didn’t see any of your claimed warning signage. Just utes and 4wds tearing the shit out of the beach from the water line up to where the trees start. A beautiful beach in a beautiful spot away from all the crowds but I’ve got to be watching my kids like a hawk to make sure some idiot doesn’t kill one of them and then try to blame me for daring to walk with my kids down to the sand dunes.

I don’t care if it’s legal, it shouldn’t be. Why does everything have to be turned into yet more space exclusively for vehicles. Especially pristine beaches.

It could, but beaches aren’t roads. What if someone was sunbaking or laying on the sand in an area they thought was safe? Are they allowed to be.run over because they weren’t keeping a close eye on every vehicle movement in the vicinity?

In my experience, vehicles don’t stick to any one particular “lane” on a beach so allowing them to use it as a road means the beach is now entirely unusable for anyone who is not in a vehicle.

You shouldn’t have to post a guard to ensure a member of your family is able to enjoy a beach without fear of someone in a vehicle killing them.

Yeah upper management at our work is. That’s pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to “encourage” staff to come in 3 days a week.

They’re usually electric assisted though; no problems with hills.

Agree but vote that the vehicles are called “beetles”, and the collective noun for them be “a showbag” for a real qld ekka tie-in

I hope his season goes well, but I also feel like in 100 years time there will be ghost stories telling of the Ghost of Cav, haunting the TdF peloton, searching for that last elusive stage win.

We visited Arlington Cemetry around November and damn, the shades of red as winter approaches make for some stunning scenery.
