The carpark was run by the hospital, was fairly priced, and for a time sorted out the RMH's woeful parking situation. Then it was privatized and handed to Wilson's Parking under the Kennett (also) Camelot. They doubled, then tripled the price, threw it open to all and sundry, and when I couldn't find a spot one afternoon I was told that my payroll deduction only gave me the right to enter the carpark, and it did not guarantee a spot. I think they got done for effectively perpetrating a fraud after they pulled this on a number of nurses. Nurses in Cairns complain about paying three dollars a day. They have no idea how good they have some things. Anyway Happy New Year. I hope the usual travesties continue to keep us occupied and seething.Paulnoreply@blogger.com
