So WestConnex was totally going to solve traffic in Sydney by adding more lanes for cars. Just a few teething problems on the Rozelle Interchange and it'll all clear up, they said. (lemmy.ml)

So WestConnex was totally going to solve traffic in Sydney by adding more lanes for cars. Just a few teething problems on the Rozelle Interchange and it'll all clear up, they said.

lib/nat/alp will always be incompetents and/or grifters... the infuriating thing is we the NSW voters are dumb enough to vote for this shit over and over again.

we literally voted to privatise the power grid for this shit.
