Rangers set onto Steve Whan's postering

Just on the issue of signs in particular – I notice the ACT must be one of the most heavily regulated areas in this regard. The roadside signs for upcoming events are so tiny you nearly crash your car trying to read them. As someone who enjoys going to fairs, government house open days etc this is really annoying. I think there should be some liberalisation of the rules for one off events by non-commercial enterprises.

I think the cheapskates should advertise on RiotACT.

ABC 1 o’clock news had an item saying the ACT rangers had removed Whan’s coreflutes from Canberra roads as they were illegally placed….RiotACT still breaking news first.

. They are just left there after the election is finished, sometimes they are there for weeks after.

in new zealand the signs have to be removed before the day of the election. Anything left up will result in large fines. That way, all the signs locations are recorded, and they make sure their removed on time.

I love how they employ people to put these these things up but never to remove them. They are just left there after the election is finished, sometimes they are there for weeks after.

I think you’ll find they can’t fine ol’ Stevey. They’d need to catch the person who is sticking them up. It’s like graffiti – gotta catch the guy doing it.

Nice. I assume that the City Rangers will recycle the signs in accordance with the NoWaste by 2010 policy?
