So, a week after the Rozelle Interchange has opened, a lot has come out of it.
- Finally dopey drivers realised that the Iron Cove Tunnel was free and started using it. That improved things somewhat. I accept that the blame for the initial apprehension was due to the poor signage and communication from the govt.
- Anyone from the Balmain peninsular (with all due respect to @TS Quint) that are heading to the city should be catching public transport. Notwithstanding school drop offs.
- People can pay a toll if they do not want to sit in traffic for 90 minutes.
- The future metro will alleviate a lot of these issues.
What this week has told us is that we can spend an inordinate amount of money on motorways (which is sort ok), but we really need to spend more money on metros and public transportation, to encourage people to get off the roads.
The current State Labor policy of a $60 cap on weekly road tolls only encourages more people to drive and further congest our roads and motorways. A truly dumbarse policy.
Agreed on the spending way more on metros and public transport but disagree on public road tolls. There are ways to build all sorts of infrastructure at zero cost to the public and also not use private money, you know what Mussolini called Fascism(PPP).
China does it all the time with their internal currency and they build whole cities. We used to do it and even historical finance author Ellen Brown speaks to Australia's early years and how we were thriving under a similar system and as an example we came out of WWI debt free while our overlords England at the time accumulated billions in debt that took them decades and many years where they had to suspend payments, but they just paid it totally off in 2015. Yes 2015.

We could build infrastructure by simply opening a State Bank(or Federal) and by the people being the asset raise the capital through interest free bonds backed by you know 'the people' and it would be all interest free and billions of it. Remember Government can do whatever it wants in this regard and Government bonds are/is money. Ellen Brown wrote a book on it a few years ago now called '
Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth about Our Money System and How We Can Break Free.' North Dakoda is the only State in American now that still does this and they build things all the time that cost the people of that State nothing and they do it in a very small and basic way. It can be done a whole lot better. But guess what conspiracies exist kiddies, they are not just some scary horror story from a children's book. Real grownups know they are real and they are all around us.
Wake the fu*k up or you will die mother fu*kers! These monsters are real and they are not your freakin friends.
Sorry I got carried away just then. But it gets very frustrating telling people the same sh*t over and over again, while most people just accept playing in the sh*t filled sand box that the globalist have placed us all in as normal and we play by their slave creating rules, when if we stepped out of the toxic sand box there would be a whole new and abundant world we can live and thrive in.
Plato's Cave. The dude wrote about it all those thousands of years ago but we are still in that fu*king cave. Un-fu*king believable.
Look up the British Bradbury Pound that was issued by Great Britain at the very start of WWI interest free, the Government initially panicked when war broke out and started to immediately issue interest free money so as they could fight the war, but obviously then the private Bankers couldn't have that. What a war and we the jackals of society make no profit? Ha...no freakin way?! So a couple of months into the war, guess what? Parliament decided to fight the war by ceasing the Bradbury Pound and issuing Government bonds instead that the bankers could then make some interest on. Ha...now why would you do that? Remember we Australia did what the Bradbury pound was for Britain for our entire war effort and saved our nation from total economic disaster and we actually ended the war with a $20m surplus, yes surplus. But then by the early 1920's the bankers got in and changed the way the old Commonwealth Bank(our central bank back then) worked and stopped it from ever being able to raise capital that way, interest free again. Can't have a young upstart showing the rest of the world how to do it properly and be debt free ffs! Bad Australia. Spanky time and don't you ever do that again or else.
Anyway Ellen's Book is on Amazon if you or anyone else is interested. Sorry for the out burst mate, it's not directed at anyone, just frustration.
There was even a Bradbury Pound petition a few years ago that obviously went nowhere.
On the 7th August 1914, in order to avoid a run on the banks, the Treasury issued Treasury Notes signed by John Bradbury - a form of national credit backed only by the credit of the nation. We demand that the Treasury immediately restarts issuing such interest-free money through Her Majesty's...
