IMHO local councils are all about revenue gathering at every opportunity & are grossly inefficient to boot.
I think that judging by NSW parking fines, $40 or $44 is cheap. I recently got pinged $99 in NSW.
Good luck
edit...
ps. By contesting you will almost certainly loose.. Give them a ring.
pps. Fancy saying that Premier "Can Do" Campbell is a retard! He is after all an ex RAA juniour subaltern & engineer to boot. Emphasis on the 'to boot'.

To be fair, that is not the police person's fault. They are handed documents and can only do what they are instructed. The problem lies in the administrative actions of the local council.

Sorry to see its not sorted yet Jimbo. I thought you got it fixed with your contact to the council up there. Sounds like they don't believe you even though you have all the documentation.

He has already rung them and tried to sort it out Cupie. In fact he and his wife and rung them several times. He has already paid the fine but because it was the wrong amount he has now been fined, even though they said they would refund him the original amount he paid and send him a new account. From memory I think I have that right. What the heck is he supposed to do now? Pay a fine as well for something he paid almost instantly.

The biggest problem is if you contest it, it Will cost you far more than the original fine, and the police(or govt)nornally don,t have to pay the costs.So, even if you are dead right, it will still cost you more.Great justice system, eh. Bill
