The " Joker " in the justice deck !

Just under five years from the Waterfall rail crash that killed seven people the Industrial Court of New South Wales has dispensed " justice ".
The court imposed a fine of $ 825,000 on Railcorp - as the management of the NSW railway system is now known.
What an interesting interpretation of " justice ". A court - which is an instrument of the New South Wales government - imposes a fine on Railcorp - which is an entity totalled owned by the New South Wales government - for an appalling act of omission in ignoring a known fault - which proved to be the reason for the crash - for fifteen long years.
What happens to this fine ? It goes - of course - to the New South Wales government !
A " round robin " cheque passes from Railcorp to the court, which in turn remits it back to - the state government !
What happens to the management people on fat salaries who chose to ignore a fault that prevented the " Deadman " safety device from stopping a train if the driver became incapacitated ?
Did they do any gaol time ? Did they suffer a reduction in salary ? Were they demoted - or were they sacked ?
Of course not !
Their professional association - the equivalent of the white collar man's union - closed ranks, the government avoided a fight to apportion blame and in the higher echelons of the public service it continued to be " business as usual ".
As always, it is the public that is the loser. They have been duped off with a long and tedious " enquiry " to allow the horror of those deaths to fade from public memory - and now the court trumpets the imposition of a fine to give the impression that suitable punishment has been meted out.
No wonder the average person has a jaundiced view of the wheels of justice !
