What is the locked cage on the parking meter for?

They’re to house spy cameras, to see who has been buggering up the flower-pot rings.

If the canary in the cage dies, it means the atmosphere is toxic and everyone should leave the mine.

Or the canaries are used by the vehicle inspectors to put on people’s windscreens during a blitz on unroadworthy cars in the car park.

How funny are the bent flower pot holders on the light post behind it! They were always going to be an invitation for teenage boys to practice their b-ball skills weren’t they?

Man this government sure does have a habit of pumping money into things without thinking through the design or long term cost/maintenance issues!

Okay, let’s face it – if it’s been installed by the ACT Government it can be for only one of two things:

a. Something to do with some form of revenue raising.

or

b. Public art.

If you mean by housing live rats to attract them, then yes, plausible.

To store the Federal Government’s budget surplus.

Or perhaps it is a sculpture. Title: The absence of owl (Belconnen displacement).

Reptoid catchers.

Obviously – to stop the terrists.
