Ranny's nasty little legacy

Blue or red, Liberal or Labor - it doesn't seem to matter much - because South Australians often end up with repugnant laws - regardless of the colour or the marketing ideology of the political party that is in power.

And this particularly nasty law is just one of them.  By any measure, the confiscation and selling or crushing of citizens vehicles - by the state goes completely against any concept of natural justice, personal rights and fairness.

Chris Kourakis is *so* right to oppose this.

This state government and their police force are terribly out-of-control.

What is particularly galling is that they have already had "world class" advice on how to deal with the road toll - and have just ignored it.  If you missed it, the report is here.

This is one of the very nasty legacies of the Rann era.  All because media Mike was finely tuned to the 20% of voters - mostly right wing geriatrics - who are Authoritarians and who would cheer him on when he beat up the "Bikies" and the "Hoons".

Who's next for some unwanted police attention - the grandma's and grandpa's who like a little bit of horizontal folk dancing on Saturday afternoons?

I wonder what they are all thinking now that Ranny's best mate Lance has been found to be a cheat?  Are the police going to confiscate his bike - and crush it ;-)

It's a sick little state, Virginia.
