So you've heard about the insane rule changes announced by the Minister on 7th Feb. You're struggling to make sense of the so-called 'transitional arrangements' that simply mean a mad rush for 3-weeks, and you are disgusted by the decision which goes against all commonsense and logic. Perhaps you angry about it all but are not sure what can be done or who to complain to. Well it is nearly too late, but in politics it is never too late. We need your help to send letters, faxes, e-mails, or to make phone calls. If you ever want a GTO, or a Cosmo, a cheap R32 GTR, 300ZX, Series 6 RX-7, EVO, NSX, Mercedes, BMW or a multitude of other models that this change will BAN from our shores, then you need to act now. And I mean right NOW. Tonight. Tomorrow. If you put it off, or wait until next week, it will be too late. Would you rather be able to say you at least made an effort, or will you say you stood by and let it happen. Post a quick letter, send a fax, e-mail if you have to, but do something. Then tell your friends about the ridiculous changes and ask them to complain too. Politics is a fickle business. Some of you may have heard of the trouble that The Hon Jim Lloyd found himself in today. Poor Jim had a bad day, read here about the rorting allegations: http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/common/story_pa ge/0,5936,12199513%5E953,00.html With kind permission we have reproduced the following from the r34skyline website at: http://www.r34skyline.com/ What can I do to stop this nonsense? There isn't much point talking to DOTARS, as they will quite happily tell you (off the record) that they are doing it to keep the major car importers happy. DOTARS knows (though doesn't officially admit) that these changes have nothing to do with anything actually mentioned in the press release or FAQ above. You need to talk to their political masters, soon and loud. The first one is the Minister for Local Government Territories and Roads, as he made the announcement - The Hon Jim Lloyd His Parliament House contact details are - The Hon J. E. Lloyd MP Member for Robertson Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Ph: (02) 6277 7060 Fax: (02) 6273 7112 Email: J.Lloyd.MP@aph.gov.au Send a letter if you can (fairly quickly), if not then (in order of preference), FAX, ring, or email (politicians tend to ignore email more than they ignore everything else, but it is still better than nothing). He is already under substantial pressure (see this article) so it will be interesting to see his response if a few hundred people start to say how unhappy they are with what he is about to do! And the same for our Minister for Transport and Regional Services, the Hon John Anderson - The Hon J. D. Anderson MP Member for Gwydir Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Ph: (02) 6277 7680 Fax: (02) 6273 4126 Email: John.Anderson.MP@aph.gov.au The next one to complain to, if you are one of the many small businesses that are going collapse because of this proposal, is the Minister for Small Business and Tourism, the Hon Frances Bailey. Her contact details at parliament are - The Hon F. E. Bailey MP Member for McEwen Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Ph: (02) 6277 7450 Fax: (02) 6273 9394 Fran.Bailey.MP@aph.gov.au -------------------------------------------------- ------------ I guess if u want to do something this is how to do it.
