    I agre, I jsut always use the blue zone 1 ticket. As a side note, how are you even supposed to know whether you should use a zone 1,2,3 ticket (without looking on their website, i.e. if you are at a bus-stop)?

    This is in question also. Some news articles I were reading today suggested O'Farrel planned to cancel/end the cash back scheme. I can't actually find an official Liberal media release saying this, although that is what the Daily Telegraph and others were reporting earlier.

    Do you think climate change is real, and man made?

    Interesting read: http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/aussie-carbon-tax-revolt-bizarre-expert-20110308-1bm1c.html It is about the conservative politics of Europes views on the ET's they have implemented here and a European expert amazed at the backwards stance of Australia compared...

    Do you think climate change is real, and man made?

    The same with Piers Akerman. It is hard to decide whether Andrew Bolt of Piers Akermann is a bigger douche. I'd have to say Akermann, as at least Bolt tries to justify his views and dosn't plain old make crap up like Akermann does.

    See the article posted above. 680 million dollars extra will be raised over the four years for a road upgrade which will cost 350 million dollars. So why is he taxing an additional 330 million dollars on top of the poprosed 350 million dollars required for his 'upgrade'? It is the Liberals 10...

    O'Farrel announced today will he extend the M5 toll for another 4 years after it was due to end to raise an additional 350 million in revenue. It will reduce congestion with less people opting to drive on it due to higher/longer tools, but you'll pay more for doing so.

    Yeah, Wildberger is good also. My experience is those that use the blackboards are good, while those who just flip through pre prepared slideshows are not as good.

    The bus drivers don't know or care so long as you dip something (i.e. the zone 1) something. Ticket inspectors would care probably, although I've never encountered one yet.

    There is a reason why the Liberals have been in opposition for so long. The Liberals don't deserve to win this election. Its just that Labor deserves to lose it. A poll in the past couple of days showed 70% thought Labor would lose, yet only 20% thought the Liberals deserved to win...

    Who are you voting for again? You were teh Anarchist party guy wen't you? NSW Liberals are no better than NSW Labor. Looking at O'farrels campaign ads on television tonight, he promised to create 100,000 new jobs yet fails to say how. Where are these 100,000 jobs coming from and why would...

    I'm not religious myself although do like Christmas/Easter etc as its good family/tradition time etc. Australia Day is good although I've never fully embraced that as much really (yes, I am Australian). ANZAC day is good and the veterans should be celebrated/remembered. Easter is a holiday...
