2014 Sa Elections - Could We Elect Someone?

[SLED]

He sure is passionate about it pete, I know this for sure, he currently is a City of Charles Sturt Councillor

I would know as I am his son.

He knows many influential political identities an deals with them on a constant basis for the best interests of the community, an can relate to the everyday citizen.

He is active in the movement for the establishment of the motorplex with the consortium.

Ill post up more information soon.

LOL Cosi, what a small world.......I hope you keep on his back about the Motorplex..............and while I've got you here, see if he can do something about my rates for a commercial property of mine in his electorate

Sounds like a good cause to get involved in way before the election smut starts...

We need to see some policy tho. Simply saying 'I'm pro car' isn't good enough. We need actual plans to get stuff rolling and this will involve many people, from the motorplex consortium, to manufacturers, to mechanics and other people whos livelihood/income will be affected, as well as getting the policy RFC'ed past sapol to see what the popo have to say. (because politicians will ignore police advice whenever it's politically convenient).

My main gripe is the lack of decent surfaces and lack of barriers - and I figure if you're going to go to that detail, make it biker friendly so the stuff that happens to some of the bikers out there doesnt end up being a fatality.

I'd also love to propose modifying that 50kph limit when unsigned and returning it to 60kph. NFI if that would pass though.

I think you'll find that's a national law, not a state one. Of course, there's no reason why more 60km/h sections can't be introduced. The 85% percentile rule used to determine what limits were set, but from what I can gather, many of the limits are now set by local government without any information other than reducing limits in areas where the most constituents complain

Very interesting Thread .

You putting your hand up for the job, Shane?

I remember meeting Joe Ienco at an event sometime prior to the last election...seemed like a decent guy. I would be interested to hear more of his views/policies... perhaps we could invite him to come to a club meeting sometime??

Mark Aldridge is another independant candidate that comes to mind that could be helpful to the cause

Would be more than happy to organise this for the not too distant future

It isn't that hard to get into the upper house. BUT does that help at all?

What I think we really need is someone into the major parties, and get them on the right track. The major parties are where the action is, people only talk to the minor parties when they need something. And if we get a majority government, they won't need the independents/minors.

Probably harder to get preselection into a major party and get them to change their attitudes than get into the upper house as an independent/minor, but I'm starting to think it's worth trying...

Just a bit

[bigkevracer]

lol... funny... that was the easy part of my suggestion... the hard part was getting them to change their attitudes/approach.

Plenty of scientific data from overseas to back you up though.
