Wtf M-plates..

[ephect]

Came across this article and I simply cannot believe the entitlement.

https://www.mpnews.com.au/2023/04/01/new-m-plate-to-set-peninsula-residents-apart/

Fine and demerit points for failing to display them.

I'm not sure how to take it, I can understand the reason behind it but I can also see how it makes tourists appear as outsiders and destroyers of the great peninsula.

Anyone down that way that can confirm this is not some April fools prank?

Makes me wonder if Mr Dalkus is getting a kickback.....

Having to pay for a plate advertising where you live and copping a fine for failing to display it is bloody pathetic...

Did that article come out yesterday on the first of April?

Take it as joke - which it is!

No, I don’t live there, but it is definitely tongue in cheek.

There were quite a few 1st April jokes in various papers and internet publications…

I‘m sure yesterday someone somewhere could have posted that Trump was arrested, held and shared a cell with some hooker but got his mojo on while being video taped though he claimed it was all fake news

After all, 1st April

Not any different to what WA has had since the dawn of time. District plates.
The SW has similar issues to Mornington and seeing district plates on a car tends to make things a bit easier.

You see them everywhere.
We have district plates.

Above is Donnybrook/Ballingup.
Below shows a few examples of districts.

I saw this, and it took a while to realise what it was. Re. the date.

The fact that there are probably lots of people I could see thinking along those lines was what made it so believable.
