Dale, the world is a very different place than the sane one I grew up in.  These are stupid laws and this is just one tiny example of how productive people are asked to spend their time and energy to serve the obstructive class.  The Government of Queensland has turned from a benign non productive class to a cancer that must be removed:  Obstructive, Destructive and Curable with the right dose of medicine.

Names removed from Taxi Driver Identification.  Good grief.

 

Photo IDs set to be introduced in Brisbane taxis will no longer include drivers' names, due to a fear passengers may verbally abuse cabbies over their foreign names.

From November 30, cab drivers in Brisbane and the Gold Coast will be required to display authorised Queensland taxi driver display cards in their cabs.

Another example of how overregulated this country is. Small business is struggling with about 90,000 pages of rules and most have completely given up on the idea of expansion. I was reading in one newspaper how a real estate office with 8 staff had one employee completely dedicated to filling out forms and nothing else. I considered opening a restaurant myself about 15 years ago and threw up my arms in frustration when I realised just how much red tape was involved. Its a wonder anybody gets a new business off the ground nowadays.

 

Exit signs for pigs? Sadly I'm not that surprised.

Ha ha Wayne, you have not lost your sense of humour, but these people who visit excessive legislation and red tape on productive people have got to the held to account.
