&quot;Don’t care North siders can afford it.&quot;

Ahh yes the Labor heartland mentality. That&#039;ll get you far I&#039;m sure!

&quot;Over ten years of Howard screwing the battlers so I suppose it’s payback time.LOL&quot;

Howard actually never screwed the battlers to the degree that Labor faithful like you believe - if you look closely you&#039;ll find Labor screws their own constituents. When was the last time the State Labor Government invested in infrastructure and services in suburbs that have always blindly vote Labor?

BTW even with Federal Labor in power it&#039;ll be plebs like you who are paying for the roads and infrastructure the high-flyers use on a daily basis.

&quot;Tough times ahead for all unfortunately.&quot;

Not me mate - I&#039;ll keep consulting to the blue-chips and laugh at poor sods like you who had to drive an AU Falcon.

&quot;Two hours travel each way bumper to bumper.These whingers need to harden the F**K up!&quot;

So you travelled four hours a day just to get to and from work? You either loved your job or are mentally slow. I&#039;d suggest a change in profession mate.</description>

		<description>Sydney siders paid the Harbour Bridge off in full way back in 1986, so why do the tolls still exist over 20 years later ? 

People we need to take the power back!

Polliticians must learn that to keep putting their hands in our pockets will hurt them.

And we must make sure they hurt.</description>

		<description>TopDog they need the other $5bn to pay for all the other 
c--k ups the government makes.

BTW I believe that Former NSW Premier Nick Greiner was/is a board mameber of the companies that operate the M4 M5 M2 and M7... 
Nick Greiner who came up with the idea to introduce Toll-Roads to NSW as he believed there was no other way for the govt to build and maintain the roads NSW needed.. they didin&#039;t have the money or the resources 

He said without the help of private companies NSW motorists would be waiting years for a world class road network.... Aaahh they&#039;re still waiting Nick!</description>

		<description>Clearly the fuel taxes we motorist pay don&#039;t cover the building and maintenance of the road network.

Sorry, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.  Our government see motorists as cash cows, if every cent we paid in fuel tax was spent on roads, we would be driving on gold.  The government need to remember, these are the roads we own.</description>

		<description>The State Governemtn along with the Roads and Traffic Authority are responsible for designing building and maintaining a road network to assist people in getting around the metropolita area quickly and easily.

However; by introducing Toll roads people are having to pay for something which he government should do bwith the money they receive from taxes etc. which really annoys people - particularly when the private companies who operate the motorways refuse to accept 5c coins even though all other companies must take them as they are still legal tender. 

Then by forcing people to switch over to an e-tag means that people are being hit yet again not only to buy the e-tag but to maintain the account etc.. including out those people who live in the Blue Mountains Newcastle or Wollongong for example and would only visit the big smoke no more than 12 times a year if that.

If NSW motorists have to pay privste firms to use their roads then why not privatise the RTA as well?</description>
