Your an idiot if you decide not to drive on the harbour bridge with an e-tag. Melbourne has had a compuslory system for years now and Sydney is way behind. Melbourne people accepted it ages ago and the system is working great, come here and good luck with a cash booth- there isn't one. Com to Melb!

The person who said they refuse to let ppl check her handbag has the wrong information. I work at kmart (in wa) and it is a condition of entry that we check bags. If you dont want your bag checked then dont shop there. ppl like you make our job harder. Youve obviously got something to hide in there.

Rebecca: you are partially right regarding the checking of handbags; the only people who have a right to inspect or check a handbag are the Police and then only under certain conditions. The customer has the right to refuse your inspection and the manager of the store has the right to refuse entry,

To the store to those people who refuse to have their bag inspected. The signs satying it is a condition of entry are exactly that, the onus is still with the customer to comply or not. There is no law that gives the manager or the staff the right to check or inspect a customers handbag.

I refuse to take my cap or sunglasses off if I wish to go into a retail outlet. Scenario: I fill my car up with fuel. I walk into the service station to pay. I'm told to take off my cap or sunglasses. I refuse. Question: Is my fuel then free?
Sounds like a win for me!

I refuse to wait longer than 5 minutes in a supermarket checkout queue if the queues are too long and not enough checkouts are open to cater for them.

I refuse to buy take away food at afternoon time when I know it has been sitting under heated lights all day when it was first cooked at 9:00am.

After years of dedication to Sunrise, and as a strong advocate for many of the important issues you have brought to the public's attention (Global warming etc) I now find myself having to switch channels. Why? Your show has reached saturation point with is sponsorship deals. To many adds/promo's!!!

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
