Neophytes and Neon Lights

Imagine a world where teleportation replaced air travel, urine therapy was proven to aid longevity, nicotine was an illegal narcotic and colour television was still a fantasy. In the middle of this are thrown a rag-tag group of petty crims, Turner, Astro, Shade, Atari and Sedge. They meet and greet arriving tourists at Sydney's teleport station as part of their work for the dole scheme. They meet the tourists all right, one hand points them in the right direction and the other steals their wallet.
