Bulk billing for camping fees
« on: October 17, 2013, 08:35:36 PM »
Sitting at work having smoko today and discussing the usual c@#p and the talk turns to the 'obesity epidemic'. Thinking about this I suggested that under Medicare the state govt should bulk bill camping fees so more people could get out camping and maybe more active. The cost to the state could surely come back in the reduction in health care costs?

Ok so this is a little tongue in cheek I guess ;D but I wish it could happen. Of course it would take a visionary government and I'm yet to see one of those ::)

Nnnnnnoooooooooooooo!     We don't need anymore people out camping taking our nice quite spots. 

Especially govt subsidised people. Look what they do do housing commission places, imagine what they would do to our bush.

HMMM, Didn't think of that, Maybe they can just do it for those of us who already go camping, you know to stop ourselves from getting 'unhealthy' ;D ;D

I tend to sit around around and do less when camping than I do at home so that wont work.

Signed off as stress relief might though...

Why should I have put my hand in my pocket to cover lazy fat people that decided years ago that exercise and diet wasn't for them.

I am a lazy fat bastard, and I camp.
How does camping make one thin???????
Although in some cases, camping seems to make some people stupid, but there doesn't seem to be much research on stupidity.

Wouldn't help my health. I normally come back from a weekend of camping weighing an extra 3 kilos, gout has kicked in and my kidneys are aching - must be the bed in the CT.

Love your idea of thinking outside the square though.

But yeah I'm a fat bastard as well and camp, TBH I blame my mother as she never took us camping when I was a kid!
