Really good article about regional roads. While federal governments give away hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts, to people who don’t need them, basic infrastructure in every town in Australia is falling apart. We blame local councils for this, but actually it’s the fault of how federal governments hog the vast majority of tax money, and piss it away in re-election bribes. Politicians should never be allowed to ‘run’ a country. It’s not their job. It shows how little we understand about democracy, that we think it is their job.
