* Gerrit, are you referring just to politicians of other systems also regarding bankruptcy conduct?
**#** INSPECTOR-RIKATI®, I will set out below it isn’t just the politicians, albeit they
might be more than likely why others are acting likewise. While Jenny Mackling appears to retire
it shows that Bill Shorten isn’t particularly considering to improve the standard of governing
such as to get a person like me to take over if so elected but simply to get someone else in who
will in my view unlikely improve anything. So, as a so called alternative Prime Minister he
seems to me not to show one bit of interest to stop the rot.
* Didn’t you stand as an INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE against Jenny Macklin in Jagajaga?
**#** That is right and this is why it would have been a golden opportunity for Bill Shorten to
show he desires to be a proper alternative leader who will insist all matters be dealt with
according to the true meaning and application of the constitution.
* But you are not and never were a member of the ALP, where you?
**#** I never was but was in the 1980 assisting in ALP elections to run the how to vote cards to
be recycled, etc, as the local president of the ALP branch went on holidays and so I simply took
over and reportedly got the highest margin of any candidate for Theo who then was the
successful candidate.
* What else is in your attention?
**#** I on Friday at about 3pmstarting my car heard over the radio that there was an accident at
the corner of Rosanna Road and Lower Plenty Road. Where I had to pass through to unload the
trailer and then return the same to Bunnings. Well, waiting before the overhead train line where
someone had a truck with a light pointing to change lane, where in fact the entire road was
blocked of on both sides because someone moved a crane across the road. What kind of
governance is this where on each side a truck shows an arrow instead of a stop sign? Then the
truck was parked in a holding bay as we could move through. Yet, less than 2 kilometres down
the road, more likely 1kilometer there was this accident, down about 100 metres from that
intersection is another intersection of Lower Plenty Road with Greensborough road. And well
that was blocked partly by a semi-trailer who wanted to move towards Rosanna Road but the
traffic was all banked-up. Instead of having the 2 trucks with the light sign parked they could
have been used in Greensborough Road and Lower Plenty Road to redirect traffic. So, you got
kilometres of traffic backed up and not a single police officer bothering to address this issue.
Neither VicRoad to come to assist with traffic management. I understand VicRoads is using
billions of dollars but cannot assist in such situation? Come on. What I view is missing is a
central coordination where if there is a major accident then the police notifies VicRoads who
then will dispatch trucks with signs in lights that will advise drivers to detour through certain
alternative roads and so avoid traffic banking up. The cost to commerce is horrendous when you
consider trucks being stuck when this can be easily resolved. Traffic coming down the Ring

Road could have been diverted around Yallemby. Those drivers wanting to go to Preston or the
City could have been diverted at the traffic lights prior to the Greensborough/Lower Plenty Road
junction. Those who desired to go to. Those wanting to go local could have been detoured to the
left and by this would about totally avoided the banking up of motor vehicles. Recognizing that
some long trucks cannot go through narrow streets they could have been exempted and allowed
through the one lane that was left open for traffic. Wed had a total shambles in traffic
management. Anyhow as I reside nearby the scene of the accident and in total the trip of 8
kilometers tookme18 minutes to get home despite the delay at Rosanna overhead rail then surely
I didn’t do bad. I unloaded the trailer and then headed back to Preston to return the trailer.
Obviously I was not going to travel via Lower Plenty road and so went via Banyule Road then
left into Rosanna Road that was nearly clear of any traffic towards Bell Street but on the other
side the traffic was banked-up towards the Rosanna Road /Lower Plenty Road intersection, this
even so there was no obstruction at that intersection for them. Anyhow I made the trip via Bell
Street, adding less then 2kilometresto the return trip in about 15 Minutes at about 3.45Pm.
What I proved was that I could manage in peak hour traffic at my leisure to do the return trip in
about 15 minutes doing 10 kilometres. Now, what my view is that the Police should inform
central command there is a major accident, if it wasn’t already alerted, and to setup diversions for
traffic management, perhaps using VicRoads also for this. We now have that the police cannot
even manage traffic management!
* Well perhaps this was a once off?
**#** Actually around 2000I was heading home when just before the intersection with Rosanna
Road a vehicle in Lower Plenty road was on fire in the middle of the road. I simply parked my
car behind the burning vehicle and switched on my indicators and then walked back and
commenced to redirect the traffic.
*.Did you?
**#** Yes, and when a police officer arrived on his motor bike he parked it next to me and let
me to continue redirecting the traffic. He joined then the other police officers in attendance. I
remained to redirect the traffic until the body of the woman was removed who apparently had
dies in the car fire. A police woman then asked me if I worked for the local Banyule City Council
but I made known I was a mere passer-by motorist.
Then a few years later driving in Sydney Road Brunswick I saw a woman lying across the road
in front of the tram and so pulled over and as it was near the intersection commenced to direct
the traffic. On that occasions also a police officer parked his motorbike next to me and left me
directing traffic. Trucks were trying to get on the wrong side of the tram while opposing trams
wanted to get through. And the risk of any truck or other vehicle running over the woman’s head
was an issue to me. Also pedestrians had to be managed. So, I was making sure that it was
organized. After the ambulance arrived one police officer then went behind the tram (where the
woman was injured) and waiting for me to signal when he could let traffic around the wrong side
of the tram to pass. So I was in charge and the police officer was waiting my instruction. After it
was all over a police woman asked my name so she could thank Moreland Council for my
assistance as a council worker. I explained I was a passing motorist.
I have found that often there is a total lack of organization by the police to deal with traffic build
up after an accident. So we got police with all kinds of weapons running around. We got police
with cameras but just plain traffic duty they cannot manage. There should be a system in place
that when any serious accident occurs immediately Police central organizes for traffic to be
appropriately diverted. If I in peak hour traffic can manage 10 kilometres in 15 minutes and
without any rush then that underlines that if the police manage appropriately they could
considerably avoid traffic build up.
