OK, lets be clear here.
I am simply pointing out that in this report on hooning, there is one paragraph that has clearly not been subjected to the same rigor as the rest of the document.
I am not trying to fight a battle against hoon laws, I am trying to ensure that non-hoon behaviour (in this case Cruising) is not included in future Anti-Hooning Legislation because we couldn't be bothered to point out to these researchers that we have spotted this suspicious, statistic-free reference to cruising in a report on hooning and would like it removed.
Anthony Standfield, President at Queensland Torana Car Club, has already managed to get that paragraph changed to what it is now by making representation to the researchers.
I applaud Anthony for achieving this and would now like to take it one step further and have the reference to cruising removed altogether.
I am proposing that anyone who is interested in ensuring that cruising is not defined as hooning in the future should send a copy of the letter above to the email address of the researchers (also above).
