Perth's SmartRider system is extremely legit. Cheaper fares and if the system is down you just get on the bus for free. All we need now is a better public transport system.

The Myki system is pretty sweet too. Like with Perth, if the machines aren't working then you ride for free (not sure if the bus drivers are supposed to do that but that's what they always do). It's a pain in the rear end to have to keep buying new Mykis every time you lose one, though.

Depends on which lovely uniformed thug is on the train that day though. I've seen plenty of people getting fined for not having a valid myki, even when the station's busted.

Just wanted to let the thread know that I'm having a beer in celebration of Abbott's back down on 18c. And y'all should too (or whatever form of celebration you prefer) - it's important to celebrate the wins given all the terrible things going on in auspol these days.

Abbott backs down on so many vile things, it's close enough to seem like Rudd never lost the election and haunts the Liberal Party to be Right Wing Labor...FOREVER! Also are those rumours about Abbott calling a conscience vote on Gay Marriage in order to help with the polls true? Any news on that because Young Labor has been talking about it a lot recently.

ewe2 posted:Cassa, the problem is the Cert 4, if you want a cert at the same level you'll have to pay for it, they can only subsidize the next level up. So unless there's a Diploma, you'd be out of luck. Ah poo poo, really? Not even if the cert is in a different industry? I'm going to push them to hassle their JSA about more support anyway.

The only problem with the Myki in Melbourne is that somehow, people are so stupid that they still haven't learned that you need to hold the card for like a second on the scanner. The number of fuckwits I see slapping their card against the scanner and looking confused - this many years in - is truly remarkable. How Australia is not facing a population crisis because the country forgets en masse to feed itself, is beyond me.

Essential Research is 51-49 to ALP. I'm worried that the voting public will eventually even out to a "This Government is average" then proceed to give them 2 more terms while Bill Shorten is replaced by Albo, Bowen or a mystery person who no one can remember the name of.

Ragingsheep posted:Go Card is getting replaced. Likely not, since it'd require starting a new contract and replacing all the GoCard infrastructure, which would be a complete loving nightmare. Getting the amount of GoCard machines we have now has been a gradual process. Interesting bit of info; the majority of GoCard machines are on a Telstra Next IP DSL service, which is basically a private WAN that only runs over Telstra infrastructure (thus being more secure as it doesn't touch the internet except via a gateway in the Woolloongabba exchange). I'm kind of surprised they didn't set it up using NextG, or at least with NextG back up, because *copper*.

Just to keep track shelving the 18C repeal constitutes another broken promise, though one people are glad to see. Still another promise broken, I wonder how SIr Andrew Bolt will take this one? Edit: "Senator Brandis will also prepare legislation likely to compel phone and internet companies to retain customers' metadata - the basic information about a phone call such as the location of the caller. Mr Abbott said that would include "the usual range of safeguards, warrants"." Oh. Goodie.
