Lane Cove Council - Unfair Parking Ticket

So most days, I park on Portview Road in St Leonards which has 2 hour parking. I am uber paranoid about getting a ticket so I move my car every 1.5 hours.

Today I parked at 9:05am and at around 9:30am the tyres were chalked. I moved my car at 10:30am to a different spot and wiped off the chalk marks. I came back out just before 12:00 noon, and saw the parking cop having a discussion with some workmen who obviously couldn't move their truck because they were unloading. I moved my car again at this time (total overkill to move it a second time, but that's just how I roll). I actually drove past the parking cop and parked not far from him, so I'm pretty sure he would have seen me. It would have been about 12:01pm, as I came back into the office and sent an email at 12:02pm letting everyone know the cop was out and about.

At 12:04pm I was issued with a ticket saying I had not moved my car between 9am and 12:04pm. I've called the council to complain and they are gatting the actual issuing parking cop to call me back.

Not impressed.
