Speaker 1 (00:02):
In the morning. It's Robin Kiping Coriotes on Kiss ninety
seven to three.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now, look, I think I remember we spoke about some
Queensland laws last year randomly, right, Well, I've stumbled across
unusual Australian laws that you would have no idea of me.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Because that looks like they don't bother sort of removing
laws that are no longer relevant. They just leave them
in the books.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Because they I think you have to go through lots
of motions to get rid of a law, and it
can be bothered if it's stupid who.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Put some of these in?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Go on?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, one of them is it is illegal to clean
up seabird or bat droppings without a lossnse what In
Western Australia. Violations can result into one year imprisonment. Oh,
it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Because they don't have WA doesn't have the fruit bats
like us, So then why is it any of that?
So their bats would be like the little ones the
guano bats make.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I don't know why, Why can't you clean up their ship?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't know. I don't know what else.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
But there's another it's illegal to make unreasonable noise with
the vacuum cleaner. On weekdays before seven am and after
ten pm.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's okay. I'm all right with that vacuum cleaner.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Reasonable noise, Like you clean your house.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Someone who's cleaning at midnight is going to irritate me.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
How loud is your vacuum clean.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Except that you know places like Paddington where houses are
on top of each other and.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Thin walls and walls.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Other people for being clean.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
No, I'm blowing up at people to using their vacuum
cleaner at midnight.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Cranky people, this one. I want to know who thought
of putting this in? For one. In Victoria, there's an old,
rarely enforced law that prohibits wearing hot pink pants after
midday on Sundays.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
That's not really.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Pants after midday on Sundays.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Back in the day you go to church, come home
and crass car and put his beds.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Check the food of the daxi these days. In Queensland,
taxi drivers are legally required to carry a bale of
hay in their vehicor.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's great, have you got your otherwise you're out where
what they needed it for? Why would they needed hay back?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
And it's unusual. These laws date back to the days
of horse drawn carriages. And while they're no longer enforced,
it's technically it's still technically remains in the book.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So were they just making sure that the horses were fed?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's right, So what would you what would you change
that hay out.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
For NOWT Cave should be in the hot pink pants.
Wouldn't that be good.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Only on a Sunday after midday?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
That where that is ridiculous.
