Civil rights are disappearing in this country faster than water in the dams. Cheers, Wayne  SignatureWayne J.

Well, anyone that drags someone into the middle of the street to talk to them should be stopped from doing so! ;-) >More legends in their own lunchtime are trying to make things hard for the humble photographer. > >http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20616566-5001021,00.html I really liked this bit... "Anyone conducting any act on public space is obliged to apply for a permit,'' Ms McDonald said. "It's a policy of Waverley Council as caretakers of public space I'm going start a few hundred applications immediately... walking, breathing, farting..... I suggest you all join me. Maybe we could just get a form together and we fill out a couple of blank spaces for the planned "act" and send them off. > "Anyone conducting any act on public space is obliged to apply for a > permit,'' Ms McDonald said.

I hope the requests for farting are rejected then :-) MrT. If they are, then we might all explode and that would be seen as terrorism.

Make it multiple choice and re-usable. I'd include a few additional activities besides the above... >> I'm going start a few hundred applications immediately... >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Make it multiple choice and re-usable. I'd include >a few additional activities besides the above... Certainly! A list of the 50 most popular acts in public places, perhaps a tick box for "other" , fill in the dates and send it off to the wonderful Waverly Council mayor for her approval. What an absolute farce! wtf is a place manager ???? > More legends in their own lunchtime are trying to make things hard for the > humble photographer. > > http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20616566-5001021,00.html > More legends in their own lunchtime are trying to make things hard for > the humble photographer. > > http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20616566-5001021,00.html I think that these two articles should be mandatory reading.... http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=3649 http://www.4020.net/unposed/photorights.shtml cheers, sam > More legends in their own lunchtime are trying to make things hard for the > humble photographer. > > http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,20616566-5001021,00.html Didn't Manly council try this a while ago and found it was illegal for them to inforce it since there is a difference between 'public land' and 'council property'. |
