Alleged conversation between John Brumby and Steve Bracks
JB: Hey SB, did you read The Age last Sunday?
SB: Nah, don’t read.
JB: Some idiot wants to make public transport free!!
SB: WHAT!! They can’t do that ….
JB: Hang on SB, stop frothing and take one of your little calm pills.
SB: Yeah, thanks JB, that’s better.
JB: If we did make it free we couldn’t continue to blame Kennet for the systems failings.
SB: Yeah, and our new car parking taxes would go phut.
JB: And the enormous revenue from parking inspectors would go down.
SB: Hang on JB, I’m feeling queasy again.
JB: Worse, SB, we’ve got a great bureaucracy to deal with cars, cars and more cars.
SB: Yeah, and we get such great publicity out of being martyrs to the system.
JB: I know, we’ll fix it – we’ll make sure all the single issue groups get major publicity.
SB: Yeah, the debate will go on for years and the FREE message will be lost lost lost!!
JB: You’re my hero SB.
SB: Pssst JT, you don’t think the voters realise that we don’t actually do anything.
JT: Nah.
