No giving rego the slip
No giving rego the slip
Three weeks ago I re-registered my 15-year-old car, costing $262. Last week the gearbox blew up. It's not worth fixing. I took the number plates to the RTA for cancellation and refund. For using less than a month out of a year's registration fee I am only going to get about half back. This is state robbery. My green slip provider will give a pro-rata refund, minus a small administration fee. Why doesn't the RTA do likewise? An arrogant, unaccountable bullying bureaucracy - a pox on them.

The moral of this story: Don't vote Labor and don't vote Liberal. A govt of unaligned independents might fix this rip-off. Labor and Liberal created it and are unlikely to fix it.
