Parking at the Botany Town Centre
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE STAFF CAR PARKS ARE, CONSIDER YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
THINK AGAIN, YOU MIGHT GET A $65 PARKING FINE.
We were going shopping at Botany Town Centre, didn't want to park too close to other cars, and thought it would be a good idea to park far away from everyone, under the trees somewhere with shade. No one would imagine come back half an hour later with the ticket stuck on the windscreen describe that we were in a staff car park.
IT WAS TOTALLY DISGUSTED, CLEARLY A MONEY GATHERING SCHEME, NOT CLEAR NOR WITH A BIG ENOUGH SIGNAGE TO SHOW, OR A SECTION BLOCKED OFF THE STAFF CAR PARK IN ANY WAYS, JUST FADED BLUE LINE ON THE GROUND.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
