It has got to the stage where systems are designed to raise revinue rather than increase safety and this mentality is restricting developing Australian infrastructure.
If it was true that "speed kills" then all cars would have been restricted to 110km/h flat out.
If it were true that cigarettes kill then they would be banned outright.
And it goes on......the sad thing about 21st century Australia:
Steal from a private person they will give you a good behavior bond.
Steal from the government they will hunt you down and take everything you have.
Hurt a private person and they will give you a good behavior bond.
Threaten a ATO pleb on the phone even in jest and they will jail you.
Murder a private person and they will look for you at least until the media get bored and beat up something else.
Even joke about hurting a senior public servant or politician and they will nail you to a cross.
Once we were free Australians......
