# yeah but the aussie police would have a hell of a drive into the middle of the outback
in all seriousness i've no idea what the solution is, but strings of travellers fouling up a site and leaving without cleaning it is both unpleasant and expensive for the taxpayer - quite besides any other issue. that doesn't justify victimising them, but it does justify finding a way of passing on the expense, or preventing it in the first place.

# That's democracy, my friend
a never-ending slippery slope leading straight to hell. Or perhaps to 70s rock played overloud in cars we'll never be able to afford.

# FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS MAKE MY ROCKING WORLD GO ROUND
Not sure if that was what I wanted on the radio, but never mind.
