Something more is needed to make it an issue at election time to get them to promise to revoke them as part of their campaign, so they can break that promise afterwards. To even reach that poor state of affairs, you need enough support for an opposition to take heed. Good luck getting people to back it.

My point, its all just like a dog barking at cars. Brumby and others might be the ones installing them, but they arent the ones who made them necessary for revenue.
FMC351, your post would have to be one of the most accurate and intelligent comments made on this forum regarding speed cameras that I have seen in a long time. Good on you.
