$12 billion on roads. From the back of my cigarette packet, that's about a third of the national infrastructure spend, private and public and everything between, on roads.
That shows some pretty warped priorities; there are more efficient and sustainable methods of transporting goods and people around the country, and better infrastructure to invest in, than roads. If only our government had a bit of vision.

Agreed!
ReplyDeleteI am quite happy with the general level of infrastructure spend, as you would expect given my occupation/profession. It's the distribution of the expenditure I dislike.
