Ban the external heaters outside the cafes

http://waverley-leader.whereilive.com.au/your-news/story/ban-external-heaters-outside-cafes/

The outdoor heaters mounted on the "ceiling" or on a stand are wasteful of valuable energy. A lot of the heat is loss to heating up space not to the benefit of the customers and the pockets of the business owners. At times, heaters are not turned off even when there were no customers. Let's be serious about protecting our environment and slowly down climate change, ban the use of outdoor heaters. Customers should wear the proper clothing, and don't be an idiot to eat in the cold!

Punishment must fit the crime or else incidence of the same nature will repeat itself.

Crime should not be glorified, but publicised in the most negative way possible, in order to deter future offenders. If our justice system fails, then media like this paper with the support of the community should take on the responsibilities to be the judge and jury.

I do not advocate violence as a form of punishment, but instead the foundation of these offenders' arrogance and self-centredness must be shaken or even destroyed, by means of doing menial tasks such as cleaning wild animal cages in the zoo, working in a sewerage farm, maintaining road works in the Simpson Desert, etc.

We are not trying to take the laws in our hands, but we must make the lawless offenders feel that they are not as powerful and frightening as the wild animals, their behaviour stinks, and the conditions of the path to repentance is as harsh as a desert.

Swanston Street shuttle bus ban plan

When those smart people spend a day on a wheel chair or hopped around in crutches, drag a luggage from Swanton Street to a nearby hotel, then they will realise how stupid the proposal is.

Like any business, queues and congestion at event ticket sales windows, and restaurants - queues and congestion are a good sign. They tend to draw in more customers and make the business grow! For goodness sake, don’t muck around with Swanston Street now and in the future plan, unless all non-hospitality businesses and shops are moved away from Swanston Street.

All the money spent on Swanston Street should be channelled to assist the homeless!
