Redflex–the beleaguered Australian firm–has lost another contract, according to TheNewspaper.com:

With a unanimous vote, the city council declined to renew its contract with Australian camera vendor Redflex because, according to police, the cameras failed to produce any reduction in the number of intersection accidents. More importantly, however, the devices failed to produce revenue.
