The Tele will probably rally its readers to protest against cyclists..

Good luck Melbournians. We are with you in spirit. You may need to support us NSW people in the future too.

Good piece by Jan Garrard today. Essentially, spending on bike infrastructure makes sense. Cutting that spending is stupid. Meanwhile, back at the RACV lunch for subsidised car makers and road builders and Ministers ...

[grasshopper]

Bump. Tomorrow morning.

[Baldy]

Good luck with it. We are pretty much in the same boat down here. LaLa has no moolaa!

[Mulger bill]

I'm sitting in a cafe post work wondering if I should brave this carp to attend. i've had a dirty headache since 0200 that panadol aint touching and the sinuses are stuffed solid.

Should I rule 5 or bail? Vote now...

[jules21]

rule 5!!!! i'm heading down now!

Good crowd given the weather; at least it blocked most of the intersection for a while. Good speech by HB, so let's hope it works. No cowbells though.
