World of Warcraft no longer legally for sale in Australia {WoW}
Feb 4th 2009 3:59PM When the police were asked to comment, I definitely got the feeling they thought they had better things to do. They said something along the lines of "if we got a complaint we'd investigate, but no one has complained to us yet about it"
It's mainly a beat up by a newspaper. Blizzard don't think the game needs to be classified, and maybe they are wrong. If they had to, it would just get classified without too many problems.

Jun 23rd 2007 11:41PM How is seizing a car any different in principle from giving someone a very big fine. I'd hope there was some sort of process, and court oversight for a fine this size, and it wasn't just reliant on the police deciding to do it.
One good thing about seizing cars as a punishment is that it makes the punishment more effective for people with more money. A fixed fine of a $200 is going to have a much different deterrent effect on someone on minimum wage than a millionaire- at least this evens it up a bit.

Chevrolet Caprice Wins Luxury Award In Middle East {Autoblog}
Dec 17th 2006 8:23PM There are a range of cars built by Holden on this platform- the Caprice is on the Long Wheel Base one, but there is also a SWB one that has models including a base model V6 ones for fleets that sell for a little bit more than a Camry, as well as V8 sports and luxury models.
I think the Monaro was about $55-60k in Australia, so if you base it on that, it would probably sell for a bit more than a GTO.

Nov 25th 2006 6:08PM The ones you saw testing were probably destined for the Middle East. Commodores are sold as Chevs in the Middle East and maybe a couple of other places.

Oct 30th 2006 8:39PM Tony- wages are a lot better in Australia then America.
Car prices are a little bit cheaper in the US compared to wages, but it's probably not huge by the time you look at the wages.
