For all you auslanders who don’t live in Victoria the international, er, national treasure, is not joking about the jack-booted, crazed thugs patrolling our trams.
Interstate travellers are advised to carry Certificates of Domicile AT ALL TIMES. And dual passport holders are advised to leave one half at home. 🙂

@Venise: I don’t feel under obligation to carry, or more likely produce, ID for public transport. Driving, yes. Hmm, with a swipe arphid, how do patrols tell whether you swiped it when boarding?
Last night. 11:21 Frankston train from South Yarra. 3 police boarded and asked to see everyone’s “tickets”. I looked blankly at them, paused, then offerred, “Myki?”. they said “sure.” I showed them my myki card. I thought to myself, but did not verbalise, “What is the point of looking at myki card? You can’t tell if I swiped it just by looking at it.”

treat ya body like junk.
Then, we can all scram.”?
