[quote:Anonymous Coward 1489996:MV8xNTgxMTM5XzI2MTMyMDg0X0ZGOUVDODM5] That's crazy. The old bloke running over his grandson only happened yesterday. How can they be proposing laws regarding that already. Not that I don't believe you. Our government will soon require us to have a licence to wipe our own backsides, and a tax for each time we do it. :burnit: [/quote]

Australian drivers of lawn mowers will be required to obtain a driver's license and dog walkers will be required to obtain a walking permit under new regulations by the Australian Labor government. These progressive measures are considered enlightened social policy in the era of permanent recession. i.e. Well as permanent as any policy can be until the next loophole or fiscal or monetary stimulus.
Corporations are already talking about renaming the 'dogs' tigers, and more progressive companies are looking at genetic mutations of the dog with no teeth. Law mower makers are expected to follow suit, with peddle-powered mowers. The justification for the policy was the death of a youth after an old man drove over his grandson.
