if we knew the level of corruption and backhanding that goes on here. I had an experience in Africa a few years ago where I jumped up and down about having to pay extra to 'reserve' a seat on a boat. It was explained to me in terms of how it happens all over the world but in some places you know what you are paying and what to expect for your payment whereas in other places you are paying (even if you dont realise it) but are getting nothing for your money. While I dont think this is acceptable whether its done in Aus or anywhere else I do think it to be true. West Aussies only have to remember WA Inc!
