Mike..you need to get out more.
Take the Opal (travel) card.
I believe the (Labour) NSW government literally pissed $100 odd million against the wall in failed tenders before putting it in the too-hard basket.
Meanwhile Singapore and Hong Kong had systems like Octopus that not only allowed mass transit travel, but you could also buy a Coke from 7/11 or a Big Mac from Maccas with the same card.
Yet the DH's in Macquarie Street said it couldn't be done.
It's this sort of waste...of my hard earned tax dollars and so typical of planet Oz....that I object to.
And frankly, if I could afford it, and it wasn't so far away, I'd buy a second home in Salerno in a heart-beat, as many Europeans know how to live, ...rather be told how we should live to in nanny-state Oz.
