    Are they making "water metres" any longer...

    Your weekend adventures just got easier! Free trains, trams and buses

    Living in regional Victoria, I am aware how many of the train services are at or near capacity now. This will, predictably, increase patronage. So are they increasing capacity such as putting extra carriages or more services? Or will it be another Vic State Govt bungled program?

    Empty prison beds while crime soars: The proposal that's got Victorians fuming

    In Vic, it's easier to get out of prison than to get in. Despite the rhetoric (& endless Govt ads on TV at taxpayer expense) spruiking the supposedly tough new bail laws "making it harder to get bail for repeat offenders", sentencing guidelines for Judges maintains the line that offenders who...

    79-year-old cancer survivor fined $1,200 despite valid medical seatbelt exemption

    I'm calling BS on this one. This example is a threat to those who really need an exemption (rare though they be). On a purely pub-test-fail basis, the logic that she is more likely to die by a seatbelt falling over her neck stoma whilst unconscious following an accident is extraordinarily...

    Beach driving nightmare: How one Friday night resulted in $1900 wake-up call

    Who at SDC writes the click-bait headlines? "Aussies on the road are being warned after a driver’s mistake left him hospitalised and with a $1,900 fine." THIS ARTICLE IS OF NO CONCERN TO THOSE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. Don't you even read your own articles???

    The GP crisis Down Under: Why three new bulk billing clinics could be a game changer for seniors

    As they say in the classics, "If you're paying peanuts, you'll get monkeys". Oh no... wait... it turns out they'll go elsewhere where they're treated properly! It turns out Poli promises are empty, especially when they fail to understand even the simplest of market forces.
