Parking Dispute

[Evil]

Had an appointment in Perth and took the Beast to beat the traffic. I pulled into a metered spot paid my money great ready to go, then the voice YOU CAN'T PARK THERE ! (Parking officer), I said, paid my money will park where the @#$% i want. Apparently not M/cycles cannot park in metered car spots Council law even if you pay the toll. I promptly left with some choice words.
Enter parking station same deal only 6 bike spots once full regardless of how many empty car spots they don't let you in even when offering to pay the price of car entry !

Is this insanity the same in other states ?????
