Commenting on “V/Line and railway union battle over allowing pets on trains”

That's nothing backward about Australia not allowing pets to travel on public transport, such as train. A pet can be as poisonous and small as a spider, and as well-behave and big as a bull. Where do we draw the line?
We don't need to follow what the Europeans do, because we are Australians NOT Europeans. Economically we are better than many European countries, because we are a better nation. In short they should follow our example. It is sorry to see so many Australians have the me-too mentality.
I don't belong to any union, but I don't like to knock any unionist for the sake of doing so. Train workers have a job to do, and their role is to look after the human passengers. Having pets on the train is like asking RSPCA pet shelters to accommodate homeless people.
If pets are allowed on the trains, that is going to set a precedence in allowing pets in food premises, movie theatres, aeroplanes, public swimming pools, and list just goes on.
Hasn't Mulder got better things to do? Perhaps he needs a bit more "training" for his position!
