Main Roads Bonds to fund infrastructure.

Here is an interesting comment in the Daily Telegraph, by Richard Talbot, Fmr NRMA Director & RTA surveyor of Sydney, and now leader of the new political party TheGreys:

"The RTA has been cash strapped now for nearly 2 decades which is why the only new roads we've seen built in NSW have been toll roads. The next NSW Govt should re-introduce government-guaranteed Main Roads bonds like we used to have to provide a long overdue injection into road funding. Borrowing from the public to build major public infrastructure such as roads and rail lines is good for the economy and provides lots of jobs, not to mention the good feeling commuters get from seeing something is actually being done to solve our transport problem."
