What Can I Do?
The usual list of things to do for this issue exists as for so many others. What you can do that may be unique is to add your support via the blog! And:
- In Australia, contact your state member of parliament and ask them to declare their support for the Pedestrian 08 Campaign.
- Let them know that you expect this program to:
Save pedestrian lives
Properly and clearly define what ‘Responsible Drinking’ is
Enforce Responsible Drinking like no other campaign possibly could
Reduce violence and intimidation on our streets
Change a drinking culture from one of institutionalised binge drinking, in clubs, sporting grounds and on the streets to one of responsible drinking - Ring your local Radio and TV stations. Ask them if they have signed on and if not, why not!

Well done Mike, I think what you are doing is fantastic i would vote for you any day.
Walking and biking are the only methods of transport left without any interference from the police state – and you propose to increase the coercive power of government?!?! Please, leave us alone, if we are walking home drunk we can cause little harm, whilst if we are driving home drunk much harm can be caused.
If your proposal goes through, no one will be able to get themselves home legally after a night at the pub. If they cannot avoid breaking the law, then it is likely that they WILL break one law or another. STOP making new ‘progressive’ laws and just leave the people alone!
Hi Serioudsly,
you haven’t contributed with a valid email address, so I hope this message reaches you.
No one is proposing to stop you drinking…
At the moment, if you are in Victoria, a member of the force can deem you to be drunk and then give you an on the spot fine for being drunk in a public place.
No one knows what that really means…
The Pedestrian 08 Campaign proposes a definition.
One that is based on research and is consistent with motorist 05 campaign.
You are not on an island flying solo. If you get cleaned up stumbling around drunk, we – the taxpayer – will pay for your hospitalisation, rehabilitation and / or nursing home.
So Taxpayers have a right to demand that you keep your drinking within reasonable limits.
No one is proposing to stop you from drinking. Only you can do that.
But, given the high pedestrian fatal rates, the propensity for alcohol fuelled violence and the current scope of underage and binge drinking, only an irresponsible government would fail to recognise and set and enforce an 08 pedestrian limit.
Hi Mike,
Met you today at that Brighton polling booth. Only 5 comments here and so foulmouthed! These people don’t even take the time to read and understand your good intentions. Please don’t be discouraged: Rome wasn’t built in a day and there are always fools among the bricklayers.
Very disappointed to see that the ABC here: http://www.abc.net.au/elections/vic/2010/guide/brig.htm not only doesn’t even mention you by name, but indicates that you got a swing against yourself! As a first time candidate and all, that’s pretty hard to beat…:-) Of course, it doesn’t really mean that, it’s just that the previous independent candidate might have got more votes than you, and I have no idea what their plank was. Maybe they had a bigger crowd of supporters. Also, some of those who usually voted Lib might have supported the previous independent on first prefs, but this time people are so annoyed with Labour, even Brighton has a 10%+ swing to the Libs.
Best wishes for the future, and your campaign ( which should not stop…. now comes the approaches to new Government Ministers, for ex.) and also for the Festive Season!
Yeh you gutless p****, “comment awaiting moderation”. Of course only leftwingers like you f**** are allowed to have their words arent they!
you f******* c**** you.
You c****!
You left-wing, do-gooder bastards you. Leave us the hell alone!
