Proof, if proof be needed, that sunshine and tinnies make you thick.


No, it's proof that Oz is going down the same road as the UK and the USA:
Big Brother tells you what to do and there'll be trouble if you disobey.
All in the name of "safety".

I was having a beer in the smokers' area (outside) at the pub during my
trip to Oz last week and the bouncer came out and told some parents they
couldn't drink with their kids in the smoking area. But it was OK for
the kids to go round the corner where their parents couldn't see them!
Crazy.

Yep, not sensible to let your children lose in the same country as matua.
