AAA didn't say the figure was just for roads, you did


No they didn't. I said it was BS spin from the AAA. The fact that they are bitching about the rail budget not matching petrol taxes hardly discredits that. Do you have an actual point?

no, I'm holding the govt. to their word. I'd prefer we didn't pay tax on petrol. But that's never going to happen.

No I didn't John. Not sure how you could misunderstand something so simple.

Again, do you have a point to make?

You want to subsidise road transport? What should we tax instead to raise the revenue?

I can't remember a sustained period when the NSW Government has ripped the living daylights out of its taxpayers like this Government has under Baird and Big Beak Berejiklian

We don't tax anything to raise the revenue - we compel governments to live within their means and stop wasting ours............. and to focus entirely on their job and not their 'business opportunities' and self-aggrandisement in many ways, including the utter waste of time and money in paying their mates big dollars to sit on some 'commission' or other and suck on the public teat.

I've said it before - since the violent insertion of the GST, State governments have seen more billions pass through their sleazy hands than ever in their history - and the results are piss-poor to negligible, and in many ways negative to the well-being of the people, and all they ever do is cry poor.  At the same time state governments have considered their magnificent handling of all this cash as a good excuse to line their own pockets mightily for life, and in more ways than one.

All that money should be going into OUR infrastructure, such as roads, rail, power, gas and so forth - not into their pet projects or nice little earners set up for the mates and cronies, and not into their stupid privatisation ventures that cost us an arm and a leg... we pay three times for toll roads - fuel etc taxes, GST, tolls + GST - where are our roads, Gladys? 
(in her mate's bank accounts)....

I didn't mention subsidies. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Why do you feel the need to lie on every topic? No matter how mundane the topic, you insist on pretending people said something other than what they said. Are you incapable of making a point without lying?

If Australia's Big Cities had a 21st Century train service like they have in Japan, no one would be nuts enough to do their commuting in the family car.

Fast and cheap.

It's pride of ownership that keeps you car-owning egotists heading off to the toll-roads each morning instead of the humble practicalities of catching a bus and a train.

Berejiklian is spending multi-millions on the road systems instead of upgrading the train systems to the 21st century, and that's because the demand is there from you drivers who refuse to support public transport.

So don't NOW whinge and moan about the 'toll roads' needed to pay for your extravagances of wanting to drive your car to and from work.
