Look these scammers are that thick they try to scare people using the Beavis case which was last year. That one is dead in the water and we win for many other reasons.

What happened in the Supreme Court only referred to the UK, it has no bearing to Australia

Just ignore DRP, they are idiotic scammers.

Over here most shopping centres have free parking for 3 hours, then they charge something like
$8.00 for 4-5 hours
$12.00 for 5-6 etc
Until very recently you never had to pay at the shopping centres.

And that is acceptable. Last time I was in Perth, it was all free

You are lucky though, you don't have the scammers who try to extort stupid money from people. Your government would never tolerate that. The "cowboys" as we refer to them by, cover the UK, your cowboys confine themselves to the outback and ride horses

Just as a matter of interest which shopping centre's do that now? Last time I was in Australia any shopping centre outside of the city centre itself was always free to park at with no set time limit.

Be careful though fruity, you need to check with the entry point if you are still required to wear a ball and chain

Joking apart, People living in Australia have a wonderful time

Really? Where did you get that from? They seem to have as much trouble down under as we do in the U.K. International boundaries hardly ever exist when there's a scam to be had! Read on:

With hundreds of thousands of private parking tickets being issued across the country, it’s questionable whether these tickets are even legal, given that they are being issued by private car park companies and not the government.

Fair Trading NSW has confirmed that private car park operators do not issue parking fines; Parking fines or infringements are issued by a Government body.

What this means is that only government can give you parking fines. Private car park companies already know this, and when they hand out parking tickets to you, they’re not actually issuing you a fine, they are actually trying to claim money from you for breach of contract. In other words, the Government can issue fines, but private car park companies issue payment notices only. There’s a fine line between them.

For example, the private car park company, Care Park, elaborates on this difference on their website: “A Payment Notice is not a fine – but rather, is a demand for payment of liquidated damages for breach of contract”.
So private parking tickets are generally legal, but they are not fines. They are payment notices for breach of contract.
