Dobbers on Mitcham Council Adelaide.

Mitcham Council.

These are the bureaucrats  that gave me the fifty-four dollar fine for parking in the middle of nowhere at my place of work last week.

I was trying to avoid the car parks.

This is a University that charges its own employees and students exorbitant fees to park. Eight dollars a day!

So, after being fined one day for not paying in the University car park I tried to find a spot where I could park. I succeeded eventually-but it was less than ten metres from a junction so I was fined by the Council. There is no traffic as it is in the middle of nowhere in the bush - and in a cul-de -sac!

Flinders University colludes with the council and dobbers, and the Council run around collecting revenue EVERY DAY!

I found out what happens from the lady herself.

I asked the lady, who was gardening outside the house where I park if she was the person who had dobbed me in to the council for parking outside her house in the middle of nowhere(to try and avoid the University parking charges)

"Oh No!" she says, "I wouldnt do that. It's the Mitcham council. He comes round every day and puts a ticket on some one's car." she said.

"'Two Sudanese boys last week'" She says. (What do the Sudanese know about Flinders exploitative parking regulations?)

Targeting penniless students.

'No wonder foreigners hate us!' she says.

No wonder indeed.

Turns out she and her husband have been watching the 'revenue collectors' from the Mitcham Council for months now and have come out to warn folks from parking there.

One of the neighbours is a Mitcham Council dobber (not her,of course)-living right there in Bellevue Heights at Flinders University.

So watch out! There may be a sad dobber in your neighbourhood.
