The coalition and the shooters party (who hold the balance of power in
the NSW Legislative Council) have indicated opposition. The pressure on
the government is fairly significant. The minister may have to name and
sack person(s) within the RTA in order to save his own career.

That's why I didn't start this thread. The strength of that call wasn't
really enough proof for me to announce it, but with oz having made a
statement that was consistent with it, and the timing looking like it
would fit, I figured that I'd mention it.

LOL. AIUI, there have been several hundred emails to the minister with
a link to my blog and asking him to respond to the issues I raised. I'm
pretty certain that the RTA staff concerned know about it...
I expect that the only communication I'll get about this will be the
official announcement of the change, because I'm on a mailing list.

A pathway common almost anywhere. Seen the procedure in action
many times.
Just think, many decades ago, some "backyard injunear or
mechaniac", made up some blocks, got out his oxy and caused
all this trouble.
