    Once the vehicles and boats is sold to the highest bidder is the money going to be used for improvements in the Territory or is the money going to end up in someone’s pocket.

    Ok Tom will pay for this junk, strip them, then leave them on the road side for govt to pick up. The cycle continues. Just ship them out already. Stop this nonsense.

    This is a bad idea. Most of these vehicles will end up on the roadside, obstructing traffic, making the place look like a dump, then the same Government will have to pay someone to remove them. Can the Government use their brain for a change???

    So, the government take the private citizens derelict vehicles and ship them overseas. Meanwhile the same government sell government's derelict vehicles to the same private citizens. And then six months later make a big song and dance about derelict vehicles on the road.

      You got it, there you go. You’ve said everything that should be said. That’s just the way it is, some things just never change.

    So what is the price of each derelict vehicle and boat? A $1.00 each? Which ever way it goes, someone’s making money and the cycle keeps going round and round.
