Thanks for covering these things in different states Jon, you're doing a true public service. Melbourne is a combination of extreme totally unabated corruption, extreme enforcement of trivial non-crimes, total ignorance of actual violent crime, endless red tape, obscenely low speed limits and a testing system consisting of following rules but not testing vehicle control. It's going to get worse, too, because Victoria's state government (like other AUS state govs) is high on "speed kills" rhetoric that has been comprehensively and conclusively debunked over and over again since the early 2000s, notably in the high-profile documentary "speed kills your pocketbook". The governments and police forces aren't even trying to maintain any credibility or plausibility that what they're doing is for the benefit of anyone but themselves.

I agree fully with Ross on this one. The speed limits are one of the bigger points for me. The inconsistency from one road to the next is ridiculous. They are supposed to set up the road with a speed limit in mind. There's actually quite a bit of engineering that goes into that, from the spacing of the dotted lines to the width of the lanes etc. But then someone complains and they just go, 'Yep we'll set that 80K road to 60K.' With no argument. Ross should of drove through Brunswick where they have 30Km/h speed limits. That's right 30Km/h. Pretty well any modern car from 40km/h can stop in about the length of the vehicle itself. If that's not revenue raising I don't know what is.

The one on Fitzroy St/Princes St in St Kilda is one of the biggest money earners...Issue I have is it's been there for years and the speed limit has been the same for years and clearly marked so why are there so many stupid drivers getting pinged there still ? Totally different story if it's mobile speed cameras set-up at bottom of hills, etc as that's purely s@$@bloke behaviour but the fixed camera locations are well known so no excuse to get pinged at those ones

What are u guys complaining about like its hell lol melbourne is one of the best/safest cities in the world. Of course they have lots of cameras . It encourages safe driving in the state and city, otherwise you'd have the roads being like Indonesia . Just dont speed anything over 20 and most of the time they wont book you . The rest of this video is exaggerated and beyond the point and FYI just because they fined you once because you sped down a hill where a camera is shouldnt mean you start attacking the whole state of victoria.

Our State is cooked mate! Labor government has destroyed everything it’s touched, and have bankrupted us!

And this is suppose to be "the safest state in the world" for whom exactly? Youth crime rates have skyrocketed, the roads here are absolutely atrocious, the ptv system is horrible cos of the constant delays due to road works that have been going on for years, and the housing situation is getting worse due to bringing in immigrants and having nowhere to put them along with prices are just too expensive. But yea I feel totally safe with the hundreds of red light cameras and the doing 80 in what could easily be an a 100 zone, because "speed kills" or something like that.

You realise of course that speed cameras were first introduced in the Kennett era yeah ?
