Seeing how the only negative comments connected with the protest run I can find in the entire thread pertain not to the protest itself, but to an effort to by an uninvolved party to hijack and radicalise the protest, I have to surmise that you're either just making an unnecessary general comment there, or going off quarter-cocked after having not been bothered to try to comprehend what someone's written...
...going on the available evidence, the two are equally likely.
I The whole point is that Damien Codognotto isn't behind this protest run, you uncomprehending twit.Who gives a fuck if you personally dont like whoeva is behind
it.
Crap. The innate validity of a cause and the tactics used in any campaign to achieve it are interdependent. Fuck-knuckled tactics fuck the cause, regardless of how just it may be.This is not about who is running it, but why its being run.
Palestinians deserve a sovereign homeland but a fuckwit Paki kid blowing himself up on a London bus of his own accord doesn't bring the Palestinians any closer to it.
Similarly, Australian motorcyclists deserve consideration in road furniture design, access to affordable compulsory training and recognition of their positive environmental and social impact, but fuckwit former heads of the MRAA cramming hyperbole into diatribes against the governments which hold all the cards aren't going to help them get it.
Yes, I also find yelling abuse always gets me everything I want out of someone...Fuck U & your gubyment MikeRann

Around 1000 motorcyclists and their machines converged on Parliament House today
demanding the State Government scrap massive price hikes in licence fees The SA
Motorcycle Riders Association says the almost triple price increase in the compulsory
Rider Safe program would force young unlicensed riders onto the road.
"Young people are overrepresented in crash rates,'' MRA spokesman Peter Mount told
the rally.
"We want people to do the training but do you think they will want to do the training
when the costs have tripled?''
Under the new fees that came into effect on July 1 the cost for a learner's permit
increased from $90 to $290 and and the fee for advanced training increased from $75
to $255.
Opposition Transport spokesman Martin Hamilton-Smith will lodge a motion and a petition
on behalf of the MRA in Parliament demanding the original fee structure is reinstated.
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries motorcycle manager Ray Newland said
training must be accessible and affordable as more people turn to motorcycles and
scooters because of high petrol prices.
Road Safety Minister Carmel Zollo wrote to the MRA on July 27 saying the fee increase
was consistent with licensing treatment that applies to all other licence holders.
She said before the Rider Safe program 27 per cent of all riders involved in crashes
were unlicensed, this has since fallen to six per cent.
