It'd be fair to say it wasn't a Qantas baggage truck involved, otherwise we'd also be reading about a strike where the TWU try to blame everyone but their own members for their driving behaviour...

So, my guess is that it's possibly a Virgin baggage truck (I don't know who any of the other carriers are in Melbourne, so forgive me if I'm way off the mark). Martin H., you work for DJ down in Mexico don't you? Do you have any more info?

I wonder how many points you'd get deducted off your tarmac licence for that! Ouch!

That would very much depend on who was writing the ticket, and also the attitude of those involved...
