I said it before, and I will say it again, being given a lecture on transparency from the Coalition is equivalent to being given a lecture on how to run a blood bank from Dracula, or being given a lecture on being faithful to your partner from Donald Trump.

It is also user-unfriendly that they don’t accept $100 notes considering that the only denomination international visitors can purchase from overseas banks is $100. What’s worse, they don’t just decline $100 notes, but ingest them. It took me over a week for the reimbursement to be credited to my Myki.

Is the ATSB web page about “rewriting the rules around passing a signal at stop” incomplete? Under the heading “Proactive action” and sub-heading “ATSB Response”, that page finishes with something of a sentence with a colon, “Accordingly, the ATSB issues the following Safety Recommendation:” And, what?
