The declaration that the environment was “back” under the Albanese government was met with much public optimism and goodwill. It would be a betrayal of Australia’s most important public good to settle for the mere appearance of action – we deserve the promised serious investment in our collective future.

How about another new suburb of cookie cutter 200m² units instead?

    Can we make them all really spread out so that infrastructure is really expensive per person? Oh and not provide any meaningful public transport service?

    That'll do the trick!

    Oh you wanted buses?

    Sorry, we're not doing that.

    Best I can do is a single t-intersection on a 80km/hr road with no traffic lights to gain access to the whole suburb and roads so winding and narrow inside the suburb that you couldn't fit a bus in there even if you wanted to.

    But I will throw in a bus stop (sign) on the other side of that entrance for that bus that only runs three times a day to the CBD at 9.15am, 12.25pm and 6.25pm, how about that?
