It seems almost inevitable that the public servant issuing the edict
is a product of one the universities illustrated in the heading of
this thread.
It is an example of such people being unable to look past such white
man logic.
The man picking up the carcasses will be on worker compo anyway.
From what we read about the universities it would seem that almost
all their graduates head for the public service.

It explains much.

Dear Bazz,

Quite a few enter politics.

Indeed Foxy !

Although not a law as such the decision is as effective as a passed law.

In effect the terrorists have won, I wonder if the same excuse will be used to stop a Mosque being built?

Bondi synagogue ban over terrorism risk leaves Jewish community shocked and furious

A LOCAL council has banned the construction of a synagogue in Bondi because it could be a terrorist target, in a shock move that religious leaders say has caved in to Islamic extremism and created a dangerous precedent.

The decision, which has rocked the longstanding Jewish community in the iconic suburb, was upheld in court this week as the nation reeled from the alleged airline terror threat and debate raged over increased security measures at airports and other public places.

The Land and Environment Court backed the decision by Waverley Council to prohibit the construction of the synagogue in Wellington St, Bondi — just a few hundred metres from Australia’s most famous beach — because it was too much of a security risk for users and local residents.

A great suggestion Foxy.

Exactly. They were having a slow day & hadn't done anything all day. Then this comes across their desk. WH&S steps in & whamo! A new stupid edict.

Foxy: Quite a few enter politics.

Well, we all can see where that gets us.

Philip S: Oops!

Of course some government authority would abject to this among other many things they have to justify their existence and raise revenue to do this - reason and common sense have noting to do with it.
