Something just doesn't sound right here. I'll be approaching our sub-branch to see if they know the full story, out of interest.

In the little country town I used to reside, i believe the NSW RTA (or whatever they are called these days) was the issue with continuing the march down the main street (also a highway)

Common sense eventually prevailed, the detours aren't that onerous on through traffic.

Why can't the government spend some of the revenue collected from poker machines in the RSL's?
