Australia Duty Free Changes


UbonOz

Recommended Posts

Just one more reason not to go back to OZ,.. the quintessential Nanny State.

Too strict, too much government control, wayyyy overtaxed, exorbitant cost of living, feminist rule, and insane property prices.

With no end in sight.

Where's Peter Lalor and the Eureka Stockade men when they're needed most?

Too right! This is just one more nail in the coffin.

I can't believe what I see happening there. An unending stream of petty legislation curtailing people's freedoms.

And it used to be such a great country.

A "can do" country.

A "to hell with authority, I'll do it my way" country.

Now they are ruled by intellectual pygmies in 'Public Health' and are scared of their own shadows. (Because it it they, the nannying tyrants in 'Public Health' who have lobbied for this reduction in duty free - and most of the other individuality-destroying petty rules and regulations.)

How the mighty have fallen. Such a shame.

Last time I went there (twelve years ago) I was so appalled with what I found that I swore I'd never set foot in the place again. And I lived there most of the 70s, and loved it. I have two (Australian) sons and three grandchildren there, too. Such a shame.

One can only hope that the Aussies will wake up to what's happening and tar and feather all these little tinpot dictators who are trying to turn the place into a nation of identikit drones.
