Good to see the real issues are being put in the spotlight, cheers Aussie government*

* Note the beer used in this cheers was purchased using legal Australian tender at a licenced liquor outlet

 

[crowmanz]

Up there with their revenue raising speed cameras fining people for 1 or 2 k's over... there are far more important issues they should be dealing with than **** like this IMO.

 

[Benn]

Another nail in the Coffin.

 

[CmdrRyekr]

**** those ******* fuckers.

 

[nosco]

Its because they wont be able to put a 15% gst on it

Like taking aborigines for long rides in the desert in the backs of paddy wagons etc.

I'm positive there's a tone intended that many would miss there Bribie G but it's not immediately coming across.

This is not a new law; it's just a current authoritarian (and possibly draconian) response to a social media site trying to promote grog barter as an alternative economy.
Take your **** off facebook which is not the whole world and continue giving someone a sixpack for feeding your cats while you're on holiday.

Media drama teacup storm.

I wonder what you could have got for 12 long necks of Home Brand lager kit and a kilo of dex?

 

[Benn]

I guess we'll never know :lol:

Guts ache?

 

[Mardoo]

A fizzy enema?

​Would pool cleaners and plumbers getting ******** for services rendered constitute pecuniary benefit?

 

[Mardoo]

Nope. Liquor and **** are regulated separately.

Only on movie sets

In SA last year the site Swap4Beers was closed down for the reasons being discussed. It was a Gumtree style site that was active for quite a few months.

Yeah thanks, I know that.

[wide eyed and legless]

I wonder would it still be illegal to swap for example a microwave oven for a packet of pumpkin seeds, and slab of beer thrown in for free. h34r:

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Yeah thanks, I know that.
Now..

And I bet you thought being a plumber was all about hot chicks, rather than **** filled pipes...
