Oops I forget MYKI the electronic public transport system thats cost $1.3 B so far and hasn't fired a shot in anger. If we had a half way competent opposition party the current mob would have been bounced years ago.Jerry
its stuff like this that i hate hearing... 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS.. (one thousand three hundred MILLION!!?)
spent on a f'ing ticket system for melbourne transport that was already totally redesigned 10 years ago.
... and 20,000 homeless people in Victoria.
now lets take that 1300000 and divide it by... 20k = $12,960,000 (per homeless person....)
that kind of money, there'd be so much change left over, they could invest it in something like bringing back trade schools,
or doing something that will create employment and oppertunitys. not wasting it on a ticket system for a couple of private companys
that probably dont even keep the money in Australia. the same people who are always trying to find ways to replace people with machines.
why not check how this stacks up against the whole population of vic.
130000000 divided by 5400000 = $240 per victorian... that is utter bs....
politians live sheltered lives and dont understand the true value of a dollar... let alone 1.3 billion.
oh well, why should they care.. they'll just go order another scotch from the bar @ 50c... subsidized by all of us.
