I cant see the relevance of that.
Well let me explain for you. Instead of directly affecting the employer by depriving them of revenue, they have to deprive the agency who in turn fines their employer.
As in -no direct mechanism.
LIFTS - MOORE PARK STOP
It's possible the lifts at the Moore Park light rail stop are the most unreliable in Sydney. They are out of service, on average, about once a week. Moreover, repairs seem to take ages to be implemented. Complaints to the various "authorities" don't seem to have been effective. The makers proudly claim, on a plate in the lift cabin - "Liftronics - Sydney's leading lift company".

Perth had similar issues with escalators at railway stations. The Government ultimately escalated (pun intended) the situation to some sort of legal battle and had them fixed (or was it replaced?), after 12-18 months bickering. So with any luck, if those lifts are proving horrendously unreliable, there might be something quietely in the works to get it fixed once and for all.

The location of these lifts probably attracts ferals who delight in interfering with them. Carrying 1000s of kids (most of whom could easily walk up the stairs) probably doesn't help either.

Exactly, don’t know if the ongoing outages are caused by issues with the lifts/equipment or vandalism.

I should have snapped a photo, but there was a stage and folding chairs and such setup across the line in the middle of George St. I highly doubt this would have been done if it were still being used by car traffic. Why is it okay to disrupt public transport so bigwigs can listen to each other give speeches? Surely there's plenty of other venues, why not Martin Place or the public square next to Town Hall, for example?

They get this treatment in Melbourne too apparently. Police or fire brigade will park on tramlines to avoid blocking traffic lanes, never mind the passengers or schedules. Part of the general contempt for public transport.

It was "The Long Lunch" promotion.
They have closed other city streets for movie events, premieres, etc.

I can see why they made the power in the ground. It would be ugly there with overhead everywhere.
Wires are the least visible thing. Poles are the worst and they've put poles there anyway. That third rail makes the tracks pretty ugly too. Aesthetically it just wasn't worth it.
