Littering is an under rated offence IMO, and there are obviously generations of Aussies who have little respect for the environment, judging by the filth we see everyday and as hilited by this post. There's a lot to be said for punishing deliberate littering, my suggestion is a public whipping at half time at the footy. May sound 19th century England, but it would certainly provide a spectacle. Whether it would decrease littering is another matter, but recent political solutions to society's problems have hardly been tear away successes either.
Agree 100% muzza, and in particular you see it every day in the outdoors, whether camping or at home. Last week I rode from Ballina to Byron Bay and the amount of garbage on the road side that you just don't see from a car was astounding. Interested to hear REAL solutions to the problem, not my draconian approach.
