Dear Folks

I hate 4WD's, they a great nusiance for the environment. THese vehicles
consume a lot of petrol and consequently contribute to the greenhouse gas
emissions and disrupt the beaches and national parks.

The solution would be to introduce a $100,000 levey on 4WD vehicles except
if the car is purchased for commercial uses such as farming, mining or
forestry and additionally increase petrol prices to 2 dollar per litre. To
support my argument I do not own a car and only hire one once a month to
drive less than 400 km/month.
>
A 4WD costs $150,000 in Denmark, so that would be right. The problem would
be that the so called "democracy" will prevent this proposal to be
implemented here!

Think about it
