Ouch. Now that's a Fine!

The difference? Dumb decision at workplace by risk tolerant employee...the boss gets stung. At home it's on your own head. Kinda simple I think?

No shit but he's essentially arguing that's OK, it should be legislated, monitored and enforced to fuck at the workplace at the cost of the employer/self employed yet you can take your own stupidity home and hurt yourself and or your family where you're not paying levies like your boss and that's OK. Double standard.

If its all about safety,


ahh fuck I can't be arsed, scroll back, it's all there

Common sense safety = old hat.

Over the top rules by people who have no idea wtf they're doing themselves = all the rage.

Risk takers don't last long in industry these days. There is no industry that has any tollerance for thrill seakers. They end up sacked or on full time 80% ACC employment.

The point I am maiking is that the employer is responsible for H+S in the workplace. The farm managers-directors thumbed their noses at the courts and will have to pay the price. The courts are hard on dumb asses.

Oh and 33 children have lost their lives on quads in the last 10 years.

...bureaucrats filing paperwork... minions enacting on that authority... fooling enough of the people to forgo their rights, 'cos they are scared of the bureaucrats dogged power... 'cos that bureaucratic power comes from the kings henchman...

...and there's money in them there cows...just another booming target...monetary, not safety directed...the more fucks that believe them, the easier the kings henchmen have it... there's documented stuff from over a few thousand years of the same story being told...just life, kiddies...

No helmet tootling around the farm = thrill seeking? You should get out more.

How many of those children would have lived if they had a helmet on? How many were working on a farm at the time?

This is the bad message that's being sent. When in actual fact it's everybody's responsibility.
