Copy? You never had the F1 Grand Prix, it was originally run in Melb in
the 1950's and was relocated in the 1990's from Adelaide, the Bike GP
originally ran at Philip Island until the promoter decided to move to
Sydney and go bust, and Crown casino was announced and built first. As
far as the look alike trains, so what? Get a life and stop mocking the
success of the Victorian governments economic model. You'd do well to
examine your own governments fiscal position and vote buying tactics
before you start attacking other states. And if the rail link, should it
eventuate which I hope it does, is run by the private sector, so what?
Does NSW have a TM or patent or private sector services - its a common
approach to infrastructure worldwide, NSW didnt invent it.

I dont suppose you'd try and "copy" Victoria and sell off the electrcity
companies would you now? :-)
