Reports and photos of them being parked in trees etc both Melbourne and Adelaide

There was a fad and facebook page where photos were posted with them being dumped and placed in the most obscure places around Melbourne.  It was a craze to see who could be most imaginative.

Great i bloody hate it when im relaxing and some toe rag plonks himself down near me and starts bloody smoking to a non smoker its bloody horrible. And dont bother saying just move why the **** should I.

Saw the same thing at a shopping centre in Australia, a woman sitting on a bench with her child when a small group walked up sat down beside her and lit up.  She went absolutely ballistic yelling at them to move away as she was there first and they refused and told her to move.  I just laughed at the silly arrogant woman as she was seated in the designated smoking area.

Mine came within 24 hrs.     You sure the address on the roll is up to date.

Yep 100%.  A couple of masculine ladies did get caught a few weeks ago knocking off the papers from letterboxes in our area.

haha! Free bikes with no record of who has them. What could possibly go wrong?

The motor bike he is carrying it on is clearly displaying the registration plate.

Still haven't received my papers for this 122 million dollar survey.

What absolute filth

They end up in rivers in Australia

This needs a collective effort to stay away from the beach and we shall see what come next.

With all the sewage and  human excrement pumped onto the sand and sea, the garbage, soi dogs and their excrement who would go to the beach.

Utterly ridiculous, as ridiculous as the fools who say they will stop polluting after China does.  You can put a cigarette butt in a bin and avoid killing fish or you can leave in on a beach and kill some, the latter is the most common outcome of people smoking on the beach so taking away their right to smoke in a place they pollute is fair, if that makes you go someone with less care for the environment so that you can continue to pollute at your freewill then good riddance.

Geez lucky I dont smoke

Yeah, because you have the God given right to pollute, right?

Just like car owners think they have a god given right to pollute. And those that use the toilets and flush it onto the beaches.

Better let those expected 2 million tourists know or build bigger jails or more banks.  Might be a boom time for the BIB.

I've seen plenty video's of it.....they all got 500 baht.

Yes my wife's family received financial handouts from the Demacrats but they didn't vote for them, they were also offered money and a free whistle to go to Bangkok and support Suthep.

What's the difference between buying it in a can or a plastic cup

There should  be, but what about this part: "Must set up branches in regions fielding candidates and have at least 500+ members in those regions" What is a 'region'? Bangkok is one region, but there are 50 Khets in Bangkok and each Khet selects a representative in local elections, so does a party need 2,500 members in Bangkok? If you take all the sub-districts in all the provinces yuo're suddenly looking at 350+ Branches across the country with 500 members each. Maybe not that easy to set up? 

There is a ban on a gathering of 5 or more, so if any of these parties tried to gather at least 500 members they can be arrested.  It makes it totally impossible for political parties to form.

Why would anyone be surprised?

 

What actions did people think have occurred which would lead to the lifting?

 

Who out there trusts the Junta?

There are the odd one or two on here that do.

So the ban is here to stay.  Well that will stop other parties running in an election.  Guess the election results are in.  In the one party election the junta wins a landslide with a total of 15 votes.

One question the DPM is unlikely to be asked, by the swarming journalists  ...

 

"Why has it taken the junta three years to make this obvious change to the law ?"

Maybe they were being careful and ensuring that this law can't bite them.

Would this be for all or just Thaksin?   There are many on both sides along with the rich and powerful who have avoided prosecution and watched the statutes expire.  The current military boys could also find themselves in a lot of turmoil as well.

Staging coups and overthrowing elected governments every few years and then raiding the jar to buy military toys that just rust away isnt going to help.

32 years old, one used condom and he over did it?  Not sure if the sex was over done if it was at 46 I had better stick to just a quick rub through the jeans.

Thechook, I'm sure that you are right, but why call it organic???

It's purely military, with no outside interference,  only military have a say in it, not contaminated by democracy or freedoms.

Can someone tell me what "an Organic Law" is? I studied Organic Chemistry at college, and I am confused. Is it a reference to Organic Crop production where mam made chemicals are not used for fertilizer, just natural products processed from human and animal waste products, for example: bs.

I believe it's a law created by the military to ensure the military always has total control of the country and citizens.

If that is the case, then we can see what is coming....

 

"Your party may well have a majority in the elected house, and won a landslide majority of the popular vote, but you didn't field a candidate in "xyz" so sorry, the result is invalidated. Mr Abhisit will take it from here..."

Prayuth will decide who wins the election, it is set up so it is impossible for his side to loose.

And since the senators are all appointed by the old elite it doesn't matter what the people vote for anyway.

I think you're right.  It will be exactly like the current Myanmar government where the military generals still have total control.

Didn't I read somewhere that after this law is in force, political parties would be allowed to resume their activities?

Lol!

Yes and they also said elections will be held 150 days after the organic law is passed so that means around the 8th of March 2018.
