I would have been taking the credit has those two dismissed parts of the Claim got through. They were my idea (expressed at a meeting Owners had in Burpengary Qld about two years) with which the clever dick QCs and Lawyers in Victoria agreed, but they did not come up with those themselves.

The one that did get through, was not my idea but I agree with it.

Correct, Mr Smith. This is how idiots take a simple comment and make it into something it never was.

At a meeting of Owners in Burpengarry, I spoke and said I thought we had an action based on contract and estoppel. Not one of those Victorian Lawyers were at that meeting. Fukked if I am going to give these stupid people any further oxygen, or detail. Look at what you get around here. You admit you had an idea which (at the moment) has been determined as wrong, and stupid dickheads pounce on that.

You had an idea and a pile of money, and gave both to the lawyers.

I told Arsie to sell his taxi plates years ago while they were still worth something.

Now his plates have lost heaps of value and he has to pay his lawyer and the government lawyers.

it isnt the fact they have lost value every businessman takes that risk..

its the fact the opposition doesnt play by the same rules as taxi owners play by...

if you owned a pub and someone opened another pub opposite you.. they would have to pay the same licence fees...and play by the same rules as you..

not so in this case.. and that imo is unfair..

If taxis were good value there is no way companies like Uber would have been a threat.

Times change and so do the rules many people have lost money in the past by not adapting to newer times with different rules.

If I was stupid enough to invest in taxi plate I would have sold it when Uber started when the plate still had some value.

All taxis needed to do was improve their product.
Clean cabs, knowledge polite drivers, arrive on time, did I say clean cabs? Even today your average Sydney cab stinks.

No sympathy for a business that can't adapt.
