Ah yes Albo's circus troupe and it's "Great White Elephant Act" guaranteed to woo away Tory voters in the next election...err
!
Had to laugh one Sundy arvo while quietly consuming some coldies and watching the box, the Mayor of Marrickville had left his home turf and dared to set foot in Melbourne to chunder out some politics in the heavily populated voters suburb of St Albans...the scene was a level crossing that had apparently claimed the lives of 16 people over more than a decade....
Ministers in funding spat over level crossing funding - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
...one could say that at least the minister for transport was proactively addressing a transport safety issue and hoorah for that!!
But then my mind kept flashing back to Lockhart River..similar numbers of fatalities except those lives were lost in the space of seconds and have left an endilible stain on the reputation of Oz aviation safety standards and the responsible aviation safety agencies ever since and what has been fixed in the meantime??
Well according to the Pel-Air debacle not much, in fact we've gone backwards...hmm so much for Albo's "Great White Elephant Act"!
