Now imagine if "tens of thousands" of people started an email campaign to the PM or organised marches, much more effective.
If you are unhappy with rego fees do you post on internet forums about the thieves at the post shop taking your money? If your bike fails a warrant because the frame is rusty do you blame the WOF examiner?
Well Duh! That was my point. You say you are sick of hearing about it yet don't seem to appreciate that the way to reach and convince people that their opinions and vote needs to be counted is by keeping the issue at the forefront of social discourse (i.e through internet forums) until everybody has an opinion and politicians see (in their faces every day in every way) that the issue is a platform that will guarantee votes. Their is no way that tens of thousands of people currently care enough to email their politician (besides emails get deleted.. opinion polls and petitions are the way to go)
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
