Monopoly busting Hargreaves takes on Norwood Park

LOLRAOTFHMS!

Enough jokes everyone, it’s a grave situation.

Not for those of us who seem to follow hearses out there with monotonous regualarity. Ah, but for the dearly departed, you are correct! And they’re beyond caring.

But Jenna, it’s a once in a life time trip.

Woden is already nearly full, and I hear they are beginning to re-use some of the really old graves due to lack of space. Don’t know how true it is.

Seeing as Tuggeranong people have had to travel all the way to Mitchell for so long, how can we discriminate against them by denying them a service more accessible? Forrest is probably not feasible either due to lack of space, although I like the proximity to Parliament House. They could probably harness all that hot air to keep the furnaces going!

Where there’s smoke …..
But, if everyone gets burned up, who will be left to know where the bodies are buried?

First sensible thing this joker has done in years.

For his next trick, perhaps he could do the same for third party vehicle insurance?

aww vicepope, you kill us!

this is an issue the opposition won’t bury.

surely, really, some legislation will overcome norwood’s obstinancy – just make it unlawful for them to discriminate on the basis of the manufacture of the coffin. then it’s a dead issue…

Is this just another random thing for Hargreaves to say or is it a burning commitment?

we should use post hole diggers to dig graves, then use cardboard cylinders for coffins.

we could use the ones they use for cement forms.

less room, more efficient, cheaper.

Why Tuggeranong? It proabably menas Hume, and who wants to go to a funeral there? Build it at the Cemetry at Woden, there must be a some land left there that is suitable. Alternatively build it closer in to the city like at Forrest.

Monopolies are no good for the consumer, they only benefit the operator. And here is a prime example of such an operator standing in the way of environmentally friendly cardboard coffins which have been approved by the government, no doubt after extensive research and debate. Does the operator of Norwood Park have a vested interest in the sale of over-priced timber coffins? It is time for a second crematorium and cemetery, preferably on the southside to end this inequity.

As a side issue, in response to a comment in the last couple of weeks about “silver” handles being removed and resold, this is ridiculous, as they are simply silver coloured combustible plastic! No resale value at all!
