thing is DC...PT is and ought to be a Public Service provision. By all means run it properly but that often is at loggerheads with pennypinching and eyes only on the bottom line.

To have allowed two incompatible train designs loose on once homogeneous network was ridiculous. Had there been ONE authority overseeing this wed have saved millions...Remember.. the franchise didnt buy the trains..just ordered them WE paid for them. One lot the crappy french Xtraps cant even run safely at theposted speeds allowed. Brilliant !!

btw I have much respect for Ingénierie Française, but those xtraps were from the bargain basement

what other city allows more than one body to oversee one element of infrastructure ?? f'n stupidity to the x !!

    Agreed, DC. The thing that swings it for me in favour of public ownership is that then the water or electricity (or whatever) provider has an incentive to decrease demand, rather than increase it, whereas private such providers tend to want to increase everything. If nothing else, the drought of a few years ago should have taught us that we can't take supply of these things for granted ...

    Other than that, it comes down to whoever has the best bananas ... :blink:

    That is my understanding as well dc.

    Bring back the SEC I say.

    We have been on the downhill slide ever since Jeff sold it.

    The slide started once Sir John Monash (of WWI fame) stopped running it ... Once great, now struggling to do its job --- sounds a bit like a certain football club ... :)

    The idea of subdividing the transit system under the notion of "competition " was the start of the rot. How can there be competition with different elements servicing different destinations etc. It was flawed as a concept and buggered in delivery. Yes that was a Govt decision... a bad one.

    Myki , also a Govt introduction. The authority, any authority that actual RAN a system didn't want it as was full of problems from the get go..it too a govt decision not an PT one, they just have to wear it. these things occurred as result of 'agendas' not genuine progress :(

    PT whether utility run or privately operated is too painful to discuss

    when i think of all the wasted money and dumb decisions i could cry

    and to cap it off no-one pays anyway (well mostly)

    Ouch!

    You guys do have real issues over there it seems.

    I would have blamed BBO, Biff and Moonie but it appears this issue is bigger then them.

    Rationality of that sort never seems to stop Demonlanders (with the exception of this thread, generally )

    Don't know how they can play tennis in the heat. I think it is just plain dangerous and the officials have failed the players.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
