    All the laws that effectively mean that employees have rights whilst employers have responsibilities.

    More like obligations. If they push it too far there will be a lot of people standing in dole queues and soup lines pondering on where their "rights and entitlements" went.

    "Our generation is the first ever to have made the search for self-awareness a crime, if it is done with the use of plants or chemical compounds as the means of opening the psychic doors."

    Every time I return to may car, even if I know I was parked legally, I check my windscreen for a council parking fine/ticket.

    School zones being placed nowhere near where kids leave any given school - breeds complacency for the genuinely needed zones.

    All the above about superannuation taxes and 'progressive' tax rates. I'm not rich yet but when I get there - will it be worth it with the amount you automatically lose? Or go to the hassle of learning the imaginitative ways to minimise tax.

    Welfare and 'asylum seekers' sucking up endless 'public' money - could write encycopeadias on what is wrong there.

    The carbon tax laws affect me. 1/5 value of my usual bill price jumping as soon as the tax came in.

    I love watching John Stossel when he looks at how much legislation is created, for dubious ends or having unintended consequences. And even though it's in the US I know theres not much difference between there and here.

    Air-rifle laws s**t me. I bought a sweet one off the shelf in a sporting goods store no questions asked in the U.S., but it turns out you need to be a licensed gun owner to own one in Australia so you might as well buy a REAL gun at that point.

    Australians tend to think individual freedom is dangerous, IMHO. Probably has something to do with the isolation. Ban all the things!!

    Chris Berg has done a couple of Australian equivalents. I posted a couple on here somewhere in the past.

    I dont have any rights to do physical harm to another person.
    I also dont have any rights to the property of other persons, nor to damage their property in any way.
    In the event that i break either of these "common laws" I accept that i will be punished by the "community".

    Other than that, I dont believe that any other individual, nor group of individuals (including "government") has any rights whatsoever to force me to conform my behaviours to their wants.

    I certainly do not believe that any person or group of people have any rights to tell me how i should make use of my own property!
    so basically local councils can go f.. themselves!!

    When i'm in the public space i also do not accept that anybody should be able to tell me how i should be behaving, unless i breach one of the above two rules.
    eg. nobody should have the right to prescribe to me if/where i can go fishing!

    and most certainly no f.. body should dare have the right to curtail my rights to self defence - including my right to bear arms!

    SAVVVVIE??

    I play paintball, same deal for makers - licenced, in a safe, blah blah blah. When I was in the states and told a dude behind the counter at a sports store he flat out started laughing. Forget about airsoft too, illegal.

    No, what I exhale is a pollutant.
