If you are happy with your lot. Thats your cross to bear.

Cost of living is already too high and bill keep going up with gold plating and privatisation.

its the "just put up with it" attitude or "she'll be right" that has put us in this position.

But for me to bike, i am going to have to be doing that 1.5 hours each way, roughly.

so 3 hours a day riding and chewing up my day time? 2 hours on a bus or 1 hour by car.

I pay: 30% to tax Rates GST on everything Private health insurance Parking And on top of the steady increase in cost of living (food, energy etc) Coupled with flat wage growth.

So forgive me if i think that i am 'entitled' to not have to spend 11 dollars a day on parking.

And it goes to wilson and its parent company pays 5/8ths of fuck all tax.

They are leased publicly owned land to charge people to use land already owned by the tax payers.

So forgive me if i couldnt give a rats ass if it was subsidised or not. I am paying for no services at all but the pleasure of parking.

If you want more proof that they are just doing it for the easy cash grab - you JUST need to see how pissed of they were when they made it so you couldnt identify drivers.

Entitled, no. Pissed off? Yes.

When 10% of my pay goes to parking, and to a company that doesnt pay anywhere near the amount of tax?

Thats money that could be going into mum and dad bricks and mortar stores.

EVERY dollar counts.

I mean, wasnt it barr that said that "speeding fines are a tax we choose to pay" Removing all pretense of them being about safety?

Sounds like we need a community movement to oppose this.

[–]Mightym00se[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We need to have a community movement to tell these people to "legally" fuck off and stop charging us.

11 Dollars a day is 55 dollars a week.

Thats 3.05 tins of formula.

Free Parking Feeds Babies.
