Hi all, I have just listened to the latest podcast on 4x4earth, its a relaxed and down to earth chat between James, the owner of 4x4earth and Roothy about a few election issues and Roothy's entry into politics, well worth a listen.

Listen to the whole thing and one of our members here gets a quick mention in regards to how crazy some of the vic laws are

Sheesh, I had to have three goes to finish listening to that. It's very long.

He comes across as a bit of a yobbo but he actually has some great ideas, similar to ones we have already spoken about here, such as parks licence, cameras intalled in remote locations etc.

whats wrong with being a bit of a yobbo? Have met him a couple of times and he is a typicle down to earth Aussie bloke and a really nice guy

It is a bit long, took me 2 sessions to get through it all

I don't think the average down to earth Australian is in fact a yobbo. You don't need to be a yobbo to be a down to earth Aussie.

ALL the guys on my trips I would call down to earth Aussies, but not yobbo's, one come close though  very close.

Regardless, he does have some great ideas.

Edit... none that you or I haven't raised before though.
