I thought it more interesting to see an R Abbatangelo back in the tribunal listings.
Just proves that fruit doesn't fall far from the tree and I reckon the old man would be somewhat proud too.
I wonder if Jnr can build on the old man's Frequent Thugger Points tally over the coming years!?
Hearing re-scheduled for next tuesday

Don't bother to pay 'fines'

PRESTON state Labor MP Robin Scott has told Darebin residents not to worry about paying “fines” for overstaying at Preston Market carpark.
Last week parking operator Care Park implemented its controversial “pay and display” system for shoppers and commuters at the market.
Under the new regime, motorists can park at the market for four hours, with the first two hours remaining free and each hour after costing $1. Parking on non-market days, Sunday to Tuesday, will cost 50 cents an hour or $2.50 all day.
Drivers who don’t display a valid ticket or overstay will be stung with an $88 fine, increasing by $77 if not paid within 42 days.
>>Will you be paying fines for overstaying without paying at Preston Market? Tell us below.
But Mr Scott said the company did not have the authority to hand out financial penalties to motorists.
“Neither Australian National Car Parks, who manage the Safeway/Woolworths carpark, or Care Park have the power to issue fines,” Mr Scott said.
“Rather, they issue claims for liquidated damages,” he said.
“Many local residents have been driving to the Preston Market since the 1960s. I anticipate that a lot of confused people will fall foul of Care Park’s enforcement system.”
Aldi carpark will have one-hour free parking seven days a week at all times.
Mr Scott said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission was looking at the legality of the charges.
From July, the ACCC will have powers to launch class actions of behalf of motorists.
“The ACCC chairman has commented that from July 1, the companies ‘claims for liquidated damages’ are likely to be ruled an unfair contract term, and therefore not enforceable,” Mr Scott said.
Care Park spokeswoman Yolanda Torrisi said the company did not issue fines, rather “payment notices for not abiding the conditions of that carpark”.
“What we are doing is giving people two hours of free parking,” Ms Torrisi said.
I dunno about the rumour scare face, but i know your a dork!
