And I'm glad it is not me

TransLink: Queensland’s $4bn new trains could be taken off the tracks (http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/design/queensland-rail-facing-legal-action-because-its-new-44bn-trains-are-basically-illegal/news-story/6a5bff8cf7706833b0eb41d6f81d06d2)

All of this after we knew they were too big for the platforms.

You know you have to ask, what happened to the quality of engineering, aren't these things run by technical people or are they all standing around with their finger up the proverbial

No, I don't think it is as bad here, however they are slow working dopes for sure. Prescription opoids have just been taken off the market and our border force is very good at intercepting incoming shipments, no, ICE is the big problem here at the moment and there is no sign these guys are moving quickly

They did that with a Bus transfer station in MD a couple years ago, the Buses that run on CNG (Compressed natural Gas) have their tanks on the roof... and they were way too tall to fit as a result... and there was more than just a few of those in service. Nobody ever bothered to check.

It's fake news! Everybody knows there is no such thing as an incompetent Australian, especially not in government.

Now tal you are being nasty, we do have some incompetent public servants and corrupt ones too, just as you do. The NSW Premier, for example, wants to use government money to build football stadiums after tearing down the existing ones. She will get a rude awakening at election time, she has forgotten the lessons handed out to her predecessor, who contracted the god complex. I will tell you though, we have some good solutions for some problems and if you have any, we will listen, but please no crackpot ideas like Obamacare

The "fake news" I heard Tal was your law enforcement was cooperating with ICE to deport Illegals and as a result hispanics in your fair state were living in fear, and this was confirmed by a TV program and interviews. Apparently you have a state law that makes it so
