I've had Americans stare at me in complete disbelief when I tell them that not only do a significant chunk of intersections have red light cameras, we now even have automatic mobile phone and seatbelt cameras that catch people at red lights on their phone or not wearing a seatbelt. automatic fine

photo taken at the end of the Stony Point line, a diesel only shuttle service from the end of the suburban line to Frankston to Stony Point, primarily for the naval training base nearby. all the trains are provided by V/Line, but it is operated by Metro, and is legally a metropolitan rail service

Blimp ownership was a responsibility I was absolutely not ready for. I know that now. So can you please use your civil war era cannon, which I will no longer make fun of, to shoot my out-of-control dirigible from the heavens before anyone else gets hurt?

the exclusion of other uses from water catchments did involve evicting several small tourist villages in the ranges and burning the buildings down, and I think for a while you had to get blood tests and be free of infectious diseases before you were even allowed to work in the closed catchment

our water so delicious primarily because the water authority (MMBW) had a decades long struggle with the logging authority because they wanted to chop all the trees down, but the MMBW correctly went "the trees filter all our water. no fucking way" and eventually won, but it was real close
