Some interesting ideas there Alan, although I think comprehensive insurance is something that needs to be priced on more factors than a de facto assessment of vehicle usage via a fuel tax.
Nevertheless, very interesting in republishing, if that is OK.
The Melbourne Urbanist has moved to a new address (and taken a new name)!!
The Melbourne Urbanist has moved out of home and is now living in a share house. In true Aussie tradition, the new house mates have shortened my name to The Urbanist.
The entire blog has been moved to Crikey, so existing discussions can be continued there. All new posts now emanate from: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/theurbanist/
