Yeah I am waiting for up to date announcements.
I don't begrudge them removing light rail as long as they have a great plan and it begins THIS year.

Getting mixed messages here

You are completely missing my point.

No I’m not at all, you might be missing mine. Right through a time where budgets have been affected by middle to lower incomes who can least afford it, things have been subsidised, sometimes to the detriment like roads in poor condition because taxes are left off petrol, but it’s in order to subsidise lower incomes in a tough economic climate. With all the extra revenue through the likes of scrapping the clean car subsidy as just one amongst many being scrapped, this to me seems like an area where continued support could be committed for multiple reasons I’ve stated in multiple posts.

I’m not arguing that. Whatever the real cost is though, needs to be paid for under user pays?

Real efficiencies will be if technology delivers driverless public transport. Real lower cost for users rather than hiding the true cost through subsidies.

Real efficiencies are achieved by light rail

Not doing anything is easy but not going to fix the problems.
Why announce the cancelation on a Sunday while pollies are still holidaying supposedly

Probably time to reassess where she goes from here with potential health failing or deteriorating.

Strange case. Lots of innuendo but no charges and no responses.
Interesting..

yeah agreed!
and so strange there’s no word from her herself yet either. i’d want to put it to bed the second i arrived back in the country if i were in that situation.

How do you suppose the previous government managed to ‘work around’ the cost inflation? You can’t keep running everything in an unsustainable way.

Cost recovery on PT is dumb asf.

lol right wingers who are against publicly funded public transport crack me up. Guess what’s cheaper to reduce congestion; pt or more roads?

Guess what happens when everyone else takes the bus but you?

Exactly. I have been thinking there's a very strange outcome on the way.
Don't really give a F one way or the other but strange

How much did clean car sub cost the government?

She probably has a problem rather than bad decision making.

Didn’t I say this was how it was going to happen this way…

She’s gone burger. It will keep coming out until she resigns. Next will be footage from the stores if she doesn’t jump.

Honestly, who needs entitled MP’s stealing from shops!

Settle down… this is the way all side play it. Look at the day after day drip feeding of increasingly irrelevant stuff on Uffidel.

It needs shutting down by the person themselves of us so irrelevant the public loses interest.

You're way out of line Wiz. Keep the insults down until you know the facts.

Completely different. People came forward. This has all the hallmarks of dirty politics, regardless of the outcome.
