When I have read the 50 pages of complexities and understood them, I shall attempt to nutshell it here, but I am not convinced it will do anything other than give the 'Effendis' of this World more ammo to be ignorant Monday quarterbacks.



Also shows how full the 'legal system' and jurisprudence are both full of holes that are open to pretty much anything, as long as the judge(s) can find the hole they wish to step through ....

Hold the legislators responsible..... for far too long the judiciary have been skirting the edges and essentially making up their own decisions based on anything they like or don't like.... take your average country magistrate, for example - 100% strike rate for coppers - NOBODY is that good!  NOBODY!!

Failing to hold accusers to the full demands of the law for proof positive is accepting the Queen's shilling under false pretences, and is worthy of the rack....

However, this is a civil matter - and should be handled under  the lesser standard of 'balance of probabilities' (even worse situation for anyone accused), so what must be taken into question?

Monetary loss?  Surely a government permitting a long established business to be undermined by lesser standard competitors not abiding by the full set of rules requires monetary compensation for loss - at the very least.

We saw that in NSW when I was a Union delegate - established companies playing by the rules being savagely undercut by small time vultures - not just sole operators who take a loss and whose vehicles suffer as a result and many of those end up broke - but also small companies, often run by The Usual Suspects, who will savagely undercut while paying their operators a pittance insufficient to maintain their vehicle fully insured and up to standard mechanically, thus leading to multiple economic and traffic disasters.

One rule for all in the same business, then the only undercutting going on should be coming out of the boss' pockets and that of shareholders.

There is one simple and factual rule of the legal system.

The one with the most money wins.

I know of so many injustices where the lawyers fee
takes most of the compensation that people receive
in court cases.
It's theft on a grand scale with lawyers making money
out of other people's misery.
They are worse than heroin dealers.

I understand now why Australian law has no provision for a self defence clause.

This would undermine the legal systems ability to fleece people for more money.

And vigilantism is seen by the grubberment and legal systems alike as a threat to their very lucrative protectionist (of their income) game.

Many years ago, my father explained to me.
That the bigger and more ornate the public building
The less benifit to society does from inside said building.

I have found this is fact, every time
Court houses are generally huge, ornate and furnished with the most expensive of accoutrements.
Parliament house is another clear example.

The only true ad constant winners from the legal system are
Lawyers, judges and the grubberment.
Billions flow fro one slimy creature to another every week for no real benifit to the ordinary man.

Insane and inane rulings are passed down by judges and magistrates that have no roots in common sense, let alone justice, honesty or morality.

But one thing I have noted more and more.
Criminals are being let off more, simply to save money from not putting them away.
People who dare to steal from the grubberment are punished more harshly than any.
Fines are pursued with the highest priority, with draconian punishments for not bowing down to the grubberment.
Laws are being twisted to the grubberments end.
Being innocent until proven guilty does not exist in Australia.
If your car is photographed going too fast.
You are required to prove your innocence, rather than the law proving that it was you driving the car.

The law is beholden to the grubberment

The grubberment wants your money.

QED the grubberment will use the law to get your money.

Justice, morality, honesty are all cast to the winds in the pursuit of the grubberments end game.

MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.

That's true Valkie.
Look at Cardinal Pell.
Anyone else would have been locked up forever
but his million dollar backing let him beat the charges in the High Court.

no bobby  they are not locked up forever.... Angry Angry
ORKOPOULOS is one..that comes to mind..


you are suggesting our Courts are frauds and can be bought by the rich... a bit of a stretch

and definitely not true... Angry

do I agree with every judgement definitely not   but then I dont understand the LAW as a whole...and I suggest neither do you...we are lucky to have a system like we have   as frustrating as it can be at times.....I think I prefer it to Sharia law any time....


as for Pell the royals findings are handed down today...
lets wait and see shall we>

I dont think there is much more we can do to this man to be honest....

Correct, Mr Smith.  This is how idiots take a simple comment and make it into something it never was.

At a meeting of Owners in Burpengarry, I spoke and said I thought we had an action based on contract and estoppel.  Not one of those Victorian Lawyers were at that meeting.  Fukked if I am going to give these stupid people any further oxygen, or detail.  Look at what you get around here.  You admit you had an idea which (at the moment) has been determined as wrong, and stupid dickheads pounce on that.


You had an idea and a pile of money, and gave both to the lawyers.


I told Arsie to sell his taxi plates years ago while they were still worth something.

Now his plates have lost heaps of value and he has to pay his lawyer and the government lawyers.

Grin Grin Grin




it isnt the fact they have lost value   every businessman takes that risk..

its the fact the opposition doesnt play by the same rules as taxi owners play by...

if you owned a pub and someone opened another pub opposite you.. they would have to pay the same licence fees...and play by the same rules as you..

not so in this case.. and that imo is unfair..


If taxis were good value there is no way companies like Uber would have been a threat.

Times change and so do the rules many people have lost money in the past by not adapting to newer times with different rules.

If I was stupid enough to invest in taxi plate I would have sold it when Uber started when the plate still had some value.



You "would have".... Grin

Hindsight is a marvelous thing ey?

Bottom line is ... the whole heavily regulated Taxi Industry across Australia has been sold down the drain by by State & Federal Govts of both sides of Politics.

IMO what has happened is contrary to Fair Trade & Competition regulations ..... because the heavy costs of license & vehicle & driver regulation still applies to taxis ....

but does not apply to Uber ...... & does not apply to a 3rd party ride share company OLA that has now entered the fray.

It was not from the start & is still not a level playing field .......

and Taxi owners justifiably should be compensated ......

if they are Aussie or any other Tom, Dick or Harry taxi owner.

They have been shafted by govt.
