Before I start, I'd like to make something perfectly clear.
I am NOT supporter of countrylink because they participate in some 
appalling practices

When you by a ticket, you are basically signing a contract which says it
is at the Passenger Attendants discretion to allow you to travel or not.

Also another point I'd like to raise:

The 'Gestappo' doesn't like you wandering out too far from your seat.  
Probably if they had it thier way, they'd put toilets in the seat and 
force you to stay in your seat until your destination.  It is impossible 
to keep children in one place for a 15 hour journey from Brisbane to 
Sydney.

Anyway,
Hope this helps
