Simplistic moronic cliche.

That traffic jam is as a result of a government trying to lift an enormous population out of chronic poverty. Yes, they will make mistakes like introducing too many cars into the population before the infrastructure is ready to cope. It is a bit like Oz really. The governments over the past 20 years have had a policy of not building infrastructure. Absolutely daft.

We should have had a railway line from the iron ore provinces of WA to the Queensland coal mines with a power station and iron smelters and steel works at each end. We should have huge irrigation and population centres in the north to take advantage of the gargantuan amounts of available water in that area.
