Here's the URL: http://www.austehc.unimelb.edu.au/tia/466.html

I couldn't find Bill's original post in the archive or anywhere.
What was the question or comment?

I've seen the page you mention before. I don't know why they have
cables mixed up with electrics that way. Someone did even worse for
Dunedin, NZ:
http://www.cityofdunedin.com/city/?page=feat_tram

Note the statement "With both increased electrification and the need
to service Dunedin's steep hill suburbs, the next development was the
arrival of cable cars, which followed a network of overhead electric
wires"!?
