    I think it unlikely because it would cause them to get dragged in front of the Yoomin Rights commission and all and sundry for discrimination. What is more likely is that the 5kph "tolerance" will be applied to all motorists regardless. That I can see.

    Good wee earner that, make it easy to get the quotas topped up, lovely jubbly.

    I'll just keep on committing the white collar crime and running my meth lab on the side. Because risk/reward: its off the freakin' charts.

    Ulysses meetings are generally reliable, particularly if they've all got their hearing aids turned on.

    Well their budget appropriation has been frozen so they need to get the cash from somewhere.

    Yeah, yeah, I know it goes into the consolidated fund - if anyone still actually pays their fines that is...

    So, loud pipes get tickets?

    Not the same rhyming aspect, but I think it does reflect a greater realism than the sentiments given by the similar but rhymy phrase.

    Oh hell yeah. All those tickets for $30 will make a huge difference, especially after the $26 worth of administrative costs are deducted.

    Just the usual self satisfying bullshit excuses.

    Half of us can relax. It's a joint campaign between the Police and Immigration and they will only be targeting riders on Asian manufactured bikes. A Winston peters initiative, that's why he was speaking at the Ulysses gathering of grey power.
