I don't see an issue with this. They're asking for input, giving everyday people the opportunity to come up with it.

I've entered my choice but don't think it'll get across the line as it is a little too long.

Victoria - Lift off the right padel.

When Morris Iemma became premier we got; "NSW - State of Disrepair", and after he had been in the job for a while doing the NSW labor shuffle, he aptly changed it to "NSW - Yeah, it's Fuct". That by far was the most popular until the Seppo Christina Can't-Nearly came to power and we got "NSW - It's all Barry O'Farrels Fault".

Now we have gone back to just plane "NSW", although there's talk about having "NSW - Click Click Biotch"

I agree as it is just rediculous , how the hell is that really meant to do anything anyway. Putting that on a plate aint gonna improve saftey period as its the person behind the wheel whom decides on whether they gonna drive safely not the plate on a car.
I use to work for ses an some of the crashes lve seen werent due to drive at times but the roads. The goverment should focus on repairing some of these roads around vic that are a mess still from the floods here an there.
I agree grow up vic goverment
