They really thought this one through well, didn’t they?

My favourite bit is towards the end when they have a “battle of the spokespeople”: Ticket Authority person saying “1.2 metres is the standard”, then someone from Standards Australia saying “noooo… it’s 80-90cm”.

If it wasn’t so tragic and grossly over-budget, it would be hilarious.
