Re: PT vs Car
  Tony Galloway

Both Tim and Richard are right about Sydney traffic and Richard’s remark that “Sydney’s overpopulated” is absolutely correct. The forced induction of excessive population growth in Sydney is the result of the Howard-Costello changes to immigration rates and capital gains tax that drive the absurd Ponzi scheme ramping up real estate prices. It’s utterly unsustainable and when the crash comes it will be a brutal reckoning.

In the meantime the corrupt, developer controlled state government is doing nothing to solve the problem, only exacerbating it on instruction from the speculating spivs profiting from this civic and environmental disaster.
