I was enraged at this Joondalup outrage. How enraged? Probably more than if Tony Abbott woke up to find a wind turbine in his toilet. I wrote to the council and asked why we had to have Americanisms on our bins: no reply by the time TWOP went to press. This is the Frame Bin Enclosure, “an attractive variety of bin enclosures for the common wheeled bin”. $1000-$2000. I see streetfurniture have a fountain with “dog bubbler” that “allows people” to “hydrate their dogs”. More than $2000.
Elsewhere in the northern suburbs…
More karesansui, but Hillarys.
Venice! Corrigin! Dayton! Joondalup!

Finally, an update on teh Giorgi situation, from teh POST:
The Worst of Perth 
Giorgi’s actions on the font face are going to make it difficult for incoming councillors and CEOs whose major action items are changing the street signs, rubbish bins and street furniture. Expect a lot of manifesto discussion devoted to the defence of Times New Roman now that the threat of amalgamation from their Emperor Barney overlord has been thrown off. Except in Subi where the somnambulistic decades long slide from the po-vi uplands will continue as per usual.

A compliance manager. That’s worse than …… gasp …… an …. uuhhhhh …. Advertising Man!
I wonder – does he carry a whip to enforce compliance?
Does his office carry a sign saying, “The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves? (in Arial, of course – the person who put the sign up in TNR was whipped until they became compliant).

Abstractions just send confusing messages to all sorts of nutters. eg to me it says ‘You are invited to drop 3 kittens in wheeliebin.’ Ok thanks for that now I know where you are I’ll just go and get some.
Not sure street furniture is Asian tourist friendly either. After rain tourists may think these bins are wishing wells and chuck in 3 gold coins for luck. Maybe that’s the idea, Local Gov revenue raising. You saw what happened with the Hay St Hatman’s hat, Rangers fighting over pocketmoney with bad buskers and professional lurkers.
Dog bubbler? My staffy would try to root it then piss on it.

Possible the term “garbage” refers to the graphic design? “Here is an example of garbage. Please do not create any more.”
