Anyone thinking about voting for the ALP/LNP duopoly really should read this accounting of where our national wealth has gone. Vast profits for foreign corporations while we’ve been impoverished. We’ve let traitors quietly sell our nation out. #auspol

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars.

And then there’s all the parking.
