Back to the subject, the goal of 10'000 signatures has been reached. So what now? What happens now that 10'000 people have signed the petition?
Does Mr Hansen get his plates back? If it reaches 1'000'000 signatures, does Mr Hansen get his plates back? |

Theoretically, we should takeover Vicroads. We have a "mandate", as so many politicians pontificate when justifying the implementation of their laws.

Oh the irony. You're absolutely right. Pages & pages, not to mention petitions, of people whinging and carrying on, calling people names, all over an utterly irrelevant government decision. So some idiot bogan didn't get his choice of infantile number plate? Yeah, "People need to get offended by real problems in Australia" Yes, sure, we are over-regulated and over-governed, buts lets save the umbrage and riots for something that actually matters.

I can't understand how the company calling themselves "White Lady Funerals" is allowed to use a name like that these days?
I have also been to 2 funerals which they have done & found them to be a revolting bunch of opportunistic people consistently putting in numerous advertising plugs in for themselves throughout both of the services. I found their multiple advertising plugs for themselves disrespectful at a funeral when people were paying top money for their services. Last edited by Fairlane 500; 16-07-2020 at 10:49 AM. |

but the thread is titled about snowflakes being offended, words, phrases & stuff not being allowed because so many people get offended by so many things these days. Therefore it is not really very far off the topic. But, if staying 100% on track with this previously seemingly light hearted thread offends, please delete my slightly off topic post.

Looks like Mr Hansen is getting some TV time. CH9's Today Show has made time to help solve his issue coming up in a few minutes.
edit: All 30 seconds of asking 2 nobodies for their opinion. Both sided with Mr Hansen. The end. Last edited by Tickford.; 17-07-2020 at 10:20 AM. |

I don't see how that's offensive, but surely if they're going through randomly checking plates they should publish a standard set of guidelines so people know what is or isn't likely to get flagged.
Also, doesn't someone approve them when you order them? Shouldn't it be caught then? If it gets through then you should get your money back if they change their mind. I considered personalised plates once, and IAMG0D was apparently available, but I figured they wouldn't be on long before someone trashes my car. |

I went and bought two 3000kg Kinchrome jack stands today from Total Tools and some 40+ something Boomer Landcruiser owner gave me a nasty look as I loaded them into the back of the car. I mean if I can lift it onto a trolley and into a car it doesn't mean I can't do it and if someone wants to help me overhaul my brakes the least I can do is haul back home some jack stands. The cheapy but lighter ones for $60 there were so crap I wouldn't trust my life on them. Disabled persons rights matter too. Don't be such a snowflake. My dad had a broken back and I've got a broken back. Don't be such a snowflake, I know my limits and there are plenty of people out there in wheelchairs that work on cars. Then when I left the place someone blocked off one of the lanes in their landcruiser as they were trying to turn right which then made some other person in a landcruiser decided to get into the outside lane in their car, the same lane that I was moving into at the same time. So I gave it a bootful to prevent getting creamed. Then when I had to merge into a single lane further up ahead another Landcruiser driver decided he wanted to speed up and block the gap instead of let me in as I tried to merge into the inside lane. Oh yeah, lets not even get into the feud with my neighbour who I'm not allowed to talk about. I think that Bogans swear so much that they've blocked any brain capacity of theirs from properly thinking things through. If only they stopped swearing so much maybe they could think clearer and have a lower blood pressure. Same with this thread I guess everyone getting upset about vicroads banning some plates that they find offensive and a 6 page thread being made about it. Oh gee oh god we should make a petition about it! Fluffle Fluffle cluck cluck. Settle down boomers! If you want to actually adhere to the polite qualities that you so strongly believe in then why don't you guys try actually living like that for once and stop swearing at people. Thats what this whole vanity plate thing is about, its about making the roads a polite place to be not a statement about how "EVL-000" you guys are. We're all just going to get groceries and buy stuff we're not shooting at each other on the roads! But none of you will actually ever admit that your car isn't a weapon because its so firmly attached to your egos. Its just a shopping trolley! Wanna know how my dad got a broken back? He got sandwiched in between two dual cab trucks, the occupants in front of him were killed instantly and he escaped barely alive with the occupant sitting next to him dying. Stop hooning. De-escalate the act of driving a car. Stop threatening others on the road with nasty mean looking 4x4s. Act your age. If you're over 40 you shouldn't be swearing, period.

"The Shadow Minister for Metro Roads, Road Safety and the TAC, Brad Battin has also weighed in and is asking members of the public to make their views known via an online survey. "
https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/vic...-number-plates Might be worth filling if anyones interested in letting them know of your opinion. Main questions are: Do you find this plate offensive? Why or why not? Do you believe Vicroads should return the plate to the owner. Then just filling in your own details. Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WEPNPlates |

How DARE the agent of my downfall intimidate me in such a way.. Perhaps I should make a complaint Poor son of unmarried parents.... with things the way they are going those plates are skating on thin ice... Nice car too.
