Lol. There's a problem, but it's not entirely the current governments fault. Perhaps if both governments worked together instead of chopping at each other at various opportunities, shifting blame and acting like a bunch of retarded douchebags then something could have been done about it. Howards more at fault there than Carr/Iemma by the way. Nope, maybe if the Howard government had given a bit more money to a state government that is clearly in recession, then they could have spent it in a wise way.frogetc said:- Failure to address Sydney’s road transport issues - Spit/ Military Road, Parramatta Road, Victoria Road, the M4, the M5 - Sydney’s most popular carparks. Instead we have a user pays road system, despite a 1995 pledge to make Sydney toll free..
"Oh! Oh! But Neb", I hear you jackoffs say, "It's the current governments fault! Who gives a fuck. Stop playing the blame game and do something about it for Christ's sake. It should be evident to all but the most fucking stupid partisan retard that the state government is trying to do something to unclog the rail system. Blame the governments prior for not securing any possible rail links into the north shore. Blame the government current for not using the little corridor they've got leading into the Baulkum Hills district, but at the very least give them credit for initiating this clearways project far before this election ever came into play.
What has Debnam suggested? Jack shit. His only suggestion so far has been to increase express services ON LINES THAT CAN'T HANDLE THEM. Yes, the state government is working to make the lines able to handle them, but at the very least they've got a damn clue about how the transport system works. What can Debnam and his Liberal swoons do? Absolutely nothing except dilly dally around with suggestions that aren't currently feasible.
I've seen the clearways project get under way, and considering how little the state government has to work with I think that they're doing a semi-admirable job. There's more to do, there's a lot more they should have done under Carr's leadership but at the very least they're trying and they have a knowledge of how these things work.
Hey, I was talking about Howard before. Yes, he should have promoted a national campaign of advocating public transport, instead he acts like a jerkoff doing nothing about it. That brings me to...
Lol. Aren't you one of those economic realist douchebags? You know, the ones that actually promote rising train fares? Once more, perhaps some of that massive surplus should have headed into this direction instead of being spent of frivilous toys such as helicopters, and vice presidential visits.- Failure to adequately invest in public transport - train fares increased by 31%, 1500+ fewer bus services, 400+ fewer train services
Agreed. They should have done more. Once again though, at least they know what to do and have an idea about what to do. Unlike the Liberals who have no idea how much any of their bullshit plans will cost, nor of how a rail system actually works. Has Debnam ever caught a train? It's lonely living in Vaucluse.- Failure to adequately invest in infrastructure in the face of steady population growth
Indeed, and recycled water would be a better idea than desalination, although I'd prefer both working in tandem. Still...we're over populated and having a tresurer telling us to continue to grow in what is obviously an over populated country/city isn't a very wise thing to do.- Failure to address Sydney’s water supply issues
Lol, hypocrite. land release = increased water use.- Failure to commit to land release to reduce the housing affordability issues plaguing Sydney
I think you may have been tricked into believing all the hype, but yeah, it could be better.- Failure to invest and improve health services, instead doctoring and altering measurement standards, centralising decision making (in the face of a commitment to halve waiting lists)
