THEME PARKS CUT-LUNCH BAN

Simon of Kedron is angry enough to let the 'damn bureaucrats' loose - D.
"We pay enough to get into these places as well as the extra bits while we are in there. If I have to buy all my food and drinks as well then I simply cannot afford to take my kids there anymore. Their prices for food and drink are way too high because they have a captive audience.
Let's get the ACCC in on this."

Luckily, Richer Thanyew pours a bucket of tough love over the likes of Simon - D.
"I'd suggest that if you're so poor than you can't afford to buy yourself a greasy burger & fries when you're out then you should really be spending your money a bit more wisely than wasting it at theme parks. Maybe cut out the pokies, booze and fags too. That said, Australia is full of mugs like you and the greedy corporations know it. Where else in the world do you pay a premium for stuff that is essentially garbage? Stay away and let them rot I say."

Mr Madden, is finally blowing the whistle on those by-the-book bureaucrats down in Geelong - bloody southerners! - D.
"So a club got their driveway fixed and two people got lunch. The biggest scandal since "storm in a tea cup". Go chase up some real criminals. This looks like a community of mateship and extremely harmless. Be different if they were given money. What would have happened to the sandwiches if the club didn't sell them or use them the rest of the day anyway."
