AGGRESSIVE "charity muggers" in would be banned under proposed new laws to be debated this week. Melbourne City Council's new street activity policy would also confine tin rattlers to specific locations throughout the CBD.

What the hell? I am sure most of you know these people that walk around in crowded streets asking for some extra change. Although they do annoy me and half of them DO fake their ills, I would sure as hell not "BAN" them. You may need a "permit" now to do this which is equally ridiculous as needing a "permit" to go fishing.edit on 9-4-2011 by Somehumanbeing because: (no reason given)

What a charming guy you are. I hope she did you for assault. (My son was one of those people in an animal costume when he was a University student.)
I am horrified at the idea of some old fat guy thumping a student in a koala costume because he thought she was 'too persistent'. You ought to have been locked up

Too charming for you that is for sure! This moron was a male (not a female as you seem to think) who followed me down the round after being told no twice. He then proceeded to grab me from behind before trying to hit me and I was too quick and taught him (repeat him not her) a lesson. So if anything I could have got him for assault! See how twisted your story is!

I may be older than you, but probably not. (My son graduated fewer than 3 years ago.)

Your son graduated approx 3 years ago meaning he is approx 23-24. I am not old enough to have a child that old!
and simply made yourself seem even more of an arse.)
