And you're not blinded by your bias? You blindly defend the government on EVERYTHING!
I can be biased but not on this one. I have travelled on public transport systems in Sydney, Brisbane, and London, to name a few, and our system is so outdated and is now besieged by controversy. And we are no closer to a resolution in Melbourne.
Tell an overseas traveller. Before you get on a tram or train you must have a Myki card which you cannot buy on the tram or train. You can't use your credit card like you can elsewhere. Oh, and that Myki card will expire after 4 years. There are hundreds of thousands of expired cards with millions of dollars on them. I still have the same Oyster and Opal cards I purchased respectively in 2005 and 2008!

And once again I've not mentioned the government. I've stated facts.
Sydney's is new. Brisbane is currently upgrading thiers. London upgraded thiers.
We are starting to do the same. That's why there's a trial in Wangaratta.
Requiring a card is quite common and not usual to Melbourne.
Contactless payment is relatively new around the world.
Not being able to by a card or ticket for that matter is common. Even more so post covid.
Myki was supposed to have card vending and top up machines but the Bailleu Government binned them. Even when they were quite literally sitting in a warehouse ready to be installed.
Card expiry is common as to keep up with technology and security protocol changes. Your Opal card expires 13 years. An OMNY card in New York expires in 7. Ov chipkaart in the Netherlands is 5.
Why does it exist:
Has London's Oyster travelcard system been cracked?
Researchers have managed to clone cards and take free rides on on the Underground network

That's why Dan (and Allan) will cost Albo dearly in Victoria in the forthcoming federal election.

Contrary to popular belief people can separate state and federal issues.

They should be able to but doesn't always happen that way. Labor is Labor, and Kos Samaris, a former Labor Strategist, has no doubt voters will punish Labor in Victoria for the sins of the state government
Or people were sick of Morrison and his smirk and his secret ministries
2016 and it was state issues that were big in Victoria and it was probably Shortens worst state for not making gains in.

Who knew about the secret ministries before the 2022 election?
Ok I will remove the secret ministries part.
Maybe people were sick of his smirk, robodebt, Tudge, Frydenberg, Porter etc etc

David Hurley, Greg Hunt, Keith Pitt, Angus Taylor, Josh Frydenberg, Christian Porter, and some lnp aligned media.
lets not forget the impact of the clive palmer high court case against WA (which the c'wealth govt sought leave to involve itself in)
whether you accept the arcane constitutional arguments porter used to justify the move is irrelevant - it was branded a toxic move by mcgowan ... and that resonated

Yeah that’s what it was. Nothing to do with Morrison and the Liberals being complete campaigners to WA and the WA Liberals being a complete rabble.

If you have a problem with your Oyster Card at Central Station Sydney (as I did), they can't help you there, you have to go and contact the Oyster Card company who apparently have nothing to do with train operations.......
Wait, are these loons still talking about Dan?
is that anti-vax neo-nazi nutter still doing his cbd walk through each weekend?

think albo is doing a good job without their help. trying to be all things to all people doesn't work. when he was leader of he house he took no prisoners. it's the only way to deal with people like 'thug'
He needs to simplify his messages and stop using big words.
Danny is going to cost Labor dearly.
Thanks Dan.
ScoMo was forward thinking and just trying to save money in these cost of living frugal times.
