As a general rule individuals can be held liable if they owe a duty of care to another person and breach that duty. There can be odd applications of vicarious liability though. Take the case of a teacher sexually abusing a child in the care of a school. In some circumstances (certainly not all) the school can be held vicariously liable for the tort committed by the teacher... Cheers

The only way the OTT is not a road now would be if an application for a road closure had been lodged and granted, which is not reflected by the current Qld cadastre.
In Queensland at least, below all power lines is a gazetted road by default.
Hmmmm ............. sounds very similar to the one I recently left.Quote:

Frenchman’s Track
From Batavia Downs east
Cape Melville National Park Track
Between Kalpowar & Starcke sections of Mt Webb/Wakooka Rd
Maytown Road (Old Coach Road) From Jowalbinna to Maytown
It is classed (by the relevant Council) as a 4wd Adventure Track, not a road. Why should the residents of the Cook Shire, pay to maintain a piece of road for the enjoyment of a few people, many of whom will not spend any more money within the Shire than they absolutely have to. Listen to the talk around the camps of an evening, and you'll hear lots of people boasting about carrying jerry cans of fuel and multiple cartons of beer from Cairns, just to avoid paying local prices on the way through.
There is a whole lot of money being spent on the PDR - eventually it will be bitumen all the way to the tip. If you don't like driving on unmaintained roads, then just wait a few years, and you'll be able to "do" Cape York in a Prius! [bawl]
While I’m sure some bypass spending up there, I bet there’s a whole lot more that do. Would be interesting to see what the town said if all tourist spending was suddenly cut off - I think they would notice, but I do get your point. Funding should come from the State Government for this.
Why, Sir, up here in Qld, we all know that 100% of our vehicle registration is put back in to road maintenance and improvement by our illustrious leaders.:Rolling::Rolling::Rolling:Quote:
