    This state’s controversial measure slams $925 fine for doing this in public spaces!

    Australia as a whole has many drinkers in public spaces. Park areas are commonly utilised for picnics, BBQs etc for gatherings/celebrations. So maybe the Feds need to step in and say “no State or Territory” will allow public drinking. Then it’s the same wherever you live in Oz.

    Local government to implement new rules for electric vehicles after startling statistic

I was in a block in Melbourne that didn’t allow any bikes etc into lifts, so that basically kept them in garage areas. Recently I owned and lived in an...
