    @jroper @tom_andraszek @ajsadauskas @TheOne Ironically, what Chris Minns and NSW Labor is giving us instead is:

    Weekly motorway toll caps instead of lower weekly Opal caps

    This is our “socialist” party in charge now. I’m grateful it’s only temporary and they’re putting Australia’s most famous most capable most pointy-headed policy wonk, love child of The Sandman and Merlin the Mandarin, the one & only Alan Fels — in charge of solving Sydney’s toll structure once and for all

    If it’s possible!

      @jroper @tom_andraszek @ajsadauskas @TheOne I’ve gone off on a rant now … all I ask is for policies that:

      • make roads cost money not free

      • make arterials that aren’t streets

      • make arterials that are invisible

      • rip up asphalt from “stroads”

      (like Parramatta Road, Princes Hwy, Military Road and replace it with bike lanes, lines of trees, outdoor seating)

      Neither major party offered all of the above but, weirdly, so weirdly, one of them had gone hard with the first three

        @jroper @tom_andraszek @ajsadauskas @TheOne Also weird how the same party started a metro network, laid heaps of light rail track — on many streets with new bans on cars and buses

        I just hope Chris Minns doesn’t cancel any more rail projects than he promised already

        I’m already quite worried that he and Donna Davis will start removing “On Demand” bus services from the Parramatta electorate
