    Why we use trucks for freight as much we do is beyond me.

    Tony Abbott had Lindsay Fox “toys” on his prime ministerial book shelves as an examplw.

    Why ? becase we keep.voting for politcans who have little interst in rail or oublic tranzport in general.

    Even when we do something belated, like the Inland.Rail project, it doesn’t go to the port in Brisbane, nor carries in to port of Gladstone but ends in teucking depot in Brisbane.

    As many people were killed by traffic murders on the day of the Boncli shootings as by gun.

        There will be no source provided, except “Trust me, bro”, because is not true. Unless OP meant globally…
