hear hear,
i have just emailed for following to the Honorable Dr.Arthur
Chesterfield-Evans MLC, (ace.mlc@...)

"I would like to take this oppertunity to congratulate you on your
speach 31-3-04 re Bus Lanes Motorcycle Use; As a motorcyclist it is
heartening to hear of at least one politician who understands some of
the issues we are faced with every time we ride on the road, keep up
the good work"

Take a moment to either cut and paste or write your own email to him,
for everyone who writes they figure there are heaps of others who
agree but can't be bothered, so write and urge others to write too.
