Heard on the news yesterday about speeding fines

...here in New Zealand, that they may introduce a similar fining system that they have overseas. This means that the more you earn the more you pay. This really sucks and not fair considering many of the fines I can only assume would be mostly issued to young boy racers who barely have a dime to their name. Just another revenue gathering scheme if you ask me.

I heard that too, but the Dominion Post reported that Helen Clark had vetoed the idea straight away as being unfair and unworkable. She will however, support higher fines for anyone who calls her an athiest or has had extramarital affairs. Or has the surname Brash.
