As they say, you catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar....
Probably a bit less of enforcing ones 'rights', and a bit more supplication
would
get better results.

I'm going to Brisbane later this year, and I intend to take the odd photo or

It will be interesting to see how they react to a off-duty QR employee
(complete with
appropriate trackside safety training) taking photos...
