ACT police take aim at ‘moron tourism’ for bad behaviour at Summernats

Car fans are seen during the Summernats festival in Canberra.

A group of “morons” who would fail to enter the ACT if there were IQ requirements at the border are to blame for bad behaviour at one of Australia’s premier car festivals, a senior police officer has said. ACT Policing seized 13 cars, including a Holden Commodore for doing a burnout metres from pedestrians, during this year’s Summernats festival in Canberra. The 22-year-old who was allegedly behind the wheel was suspended for driving in the territory for three months. Two children and two adult passengers were also allegedly in the car during the manoeuvre, police said.
