 G'day Jonathan,

I have to say I agree with your comments, perhaps the old sleight of hand trick?

Not sure for sure as I had a bit of a drama yesterday so missed most news but I think I heard something about Victoria dumpped the plan as well, if so Great. Maybe it is a case of people power. (I don't think I have broken the rules with that one).

smile I didnt see it mentioned on the news that I saw but if true it has to be a great win for us Grey Nomads, and as said politicians only respond to public pressure so I doubt if they thought of it as a good idea by themselves. biggrinbiggrin

I was listening on the radio a couple of weeks ago an expert was commenting on the unleaded ban in n.s.w and his view was that the ethanol could not be produced fast enough to keep up with demand if they banned the regular unleaded fuel, that may be the reason why they canned it
