Know the reef well do you Paul. From your posting history I doubt you would recognise a bit of coral, if you fell over it.

Of course you would believe the rip off merchants at James Cook, the AIMS lot & the marine park authority. You hear them bleating for more money on their ABC so regularly.

I have dealt with the wan#ers. They are the ones who told me the reef off the Whitsundays would have no coral left by 1987. Why we feed them is a total mystery.

Steele,

"It is an offence to hunt deer at night, hunt deer with artificial lights, carry a loaded firearm in vehicles, and possess or discharge a loaded firearm on or across a public thoroughfare"

That's from the link that you posted, doesn't seem to be a problem that is caused by licensed hunters, so don't blame gun owners in general nor dedicated deer hunters in particular.

It's a Law and Order issue and should be dealt with by the relevant authorities and if they can't deal with the problem then Heaven help us if there are any real terrorists about.

I had a friend in the Mittagong area in NSW who had the same problem, he was an ex WWII bloke and he found that an armour piercing .303 into engine blocks was a great deterrent, in fact it not only stopped the engines it stopped the problem.

Issy, you have been given that much evidence, yet still try and propagate the lie that the gun happy brigades political arm is not being financed by foreign interest. Do you really believe your back door schemes are that watertight that no one can prove you wrong.

Hassy, I could not possibly know the Great Barrier Reef as well as you. Considering you spent years pumping a mixture of environmentally unfriendly bilge water, and other nasties all over the bloody thing. You also seem to have a deep seated resentment for anyone who is educated, and for those that use their education for the betterment of mankind as scientists, educators or researchers. I am not familiar with your personal level of education, but I suspect it is rather low. You seem to think, you with your rudimentary homespun knowledge that you are a cut above those that really do know. Sir, it is the know all base ignorant that are the real dangers to society.

Someone once said; "Einstein plus and idiot, is smarter than Einstein on his own." I'll at least give you that!

Paul,

"Issy, you have been given that much evidence, yet still try and propagate the lie that the gun happy brigades political arm is not being financed by foreign interest. Do you really believe your back door schemes are that watertight that no one can prove you wrong"

Well, go on; prove it.

So far you have offered nothing of substance, except Green bull.

This is typical Issy, and his belief in 'Dodge City' justice. Here we have one old gun crazy, evident by his WWII status, taking it upon himself to shoot at some other gun crazies. Issy I assume, like those in N.E. Victoria all the gun crazies have a licence. We should be very concerned!

Issy, what evidence will you accept; pics of Charlton Heston personally handing over the Yankee dollars to your two mates in the NSW Parliament, Tweedle-Dum and his sidekick Tweedle-Even-Dumer?
