Was listening to the Toby Hagen motor session on ABC's Nightline. He was discussing the NSW Police car purchases and noted they spend a lot more than other states on each HWP cars. He was shocked that NSW police (water police) had recently purchased a Ram 1500 to tow jet skis when a Ranger or Hilux costing half that could do the job. Allegedly they justified the purchase claiming they needed a 4.5 tonne capacity. He also noted that the fuel use of the petrol V8 would be a lot more expensive than the diesels in the other utes.
