This may interest only a few residents of Tasmania and, perhaps, some concerned visitors to my seemingly moribund home State, but I have recently endeavoured to attract support for a proposal for proper footpaths because—I am convinced—I am not the only person who wishes to walk from place to place without risking death or dismemberment on public roads which, unjustly, lack adequate, concomitant footpaths, and on the general principle that, in a State now so heavily dependent on tourism but so infested with credulous believers in the odd notion that wondrous, modern technological advancement, somehow, adversely mutates our planet’s entire climate catastophically, “whithersoever a person may lawfully travel by motor
vehicle a person should also be able to travel by foot or wheelchair or
other personal conveyance just as readily”.
