Critical Mass doesn't break the law nor is it a protest.  Every month a
permit is issued by the NSW Police Service.

As for your road taxes, I'd be happy with you paying your way for the use
of the roads.  Unfortunately petrol taxes, registration and car taxes pay
for less than 10% of the costs of building and maintaining roads in this
state.  In fact we all end up subsidising the road freight industry and
their road-destroying trucks.

Take that up with your local member.
