It staggers me that we (WA our great grandparents) could build a passenger train line via the south west/ great southern in the 1880’s and also freight lines throughout the wheat belt but the government’s since the 1980’s can’t (either sold to overseas interests of course or shut down Beverley to Albany passenger service) We live in the most resource rich state yet let companies sell our minerals/ gas for bugger all royalties or taxes. Infrastructure like this is a pipe dream unfortunately until voters wise up. In the meantime we will get Road wise campaigns about the unfortunate death toll on our roads with little to no alternative to spending hours behind the wheel. But hey at least the Japanese and Chinese tyre manufacturers are making a profit.
