VALKIE:
Two things are guaranteed in life
Death and taxes

The grubberment will find a way to tax everything they possobly and legally can....and tgen so e more.

We need to shrink the grubberment and lessen the taxes
But we have more chance of holding back the tide with a broom.
The grubberment parasites have us all by our petrol tanks.

May they all rot in Hell for eternity.

I have traveled all over the world (for my job) and driven or have been driven on many roads in many countries.

I can say, with fear of contradiction, that Australian roads in general are some of the worst in any civilized country on earth.
They have skinnier lanes, poor road surfaces, and are generally very poorly made.
Some third world countries even have better roads.

And what makes it even more annoying is the absolute ridiculous time it takes to make a road in Australia.
In the time it took to upgrade a few kilometres on the M1 on the Central Coast, hundreds of Kilometers were put down in China on one stretch of road where I was travelling. Better roads too.
I think it comes down to just how much the "Contractors" can charge and how much "Graft" they have to pass over to the public servants who secure their services.

I watched this joke of an "upgrade" for years, machinery that was just sitting there rusting for nearly 2 years without moving, that we were being charged for because it was "on site"
Dirt and road base moved from one place to another and back several dozen times (to look busy).
And less than 12 months after it was opened potholes and damage resulting in serious damage to vehicles formed.
Before the road was even opened it was breaking up, requiring resurfacing several times.

In the US and UK when they make a road its good for many years, I guess 12 months is OK for a backward colony like Australia.
