A Tragedy ... Twice Over
ByOver Easter there was a tragic level crossing accident in Victoria which resulted in loss of life.
Afterwards, it was explained that it was “too expensive” to install boom gates (supposed to cost $500,000) so it is up to us to drive more carefully.
How stupid are we? TAC happily spends MILLIONS of our premiums on advertising and sponsors a football competition (the AFl’s TAC Cup).
Just a fraction of the money wasted on advertising or paying for young men to chase a ball around a paddock could have saved the lives so tragically lost.

It was a tragic level crossing accident which resulted in loss of life, but so was the boating crash in Sydney.
So the question is where do we spend the money, as reality is we cannot spend the money in all places.
