Current policy settings are encouraging bigger and bigger cars. This is the wrong direction during a climate emergency. Taxes should instead encourage smaller vehicles. smh.com.au/national/wait-the…

The Metro scam is unravelling. Heads should roll. Metro services work when they supplement commuter journeys and have closely spaced stations. Instead we have property developer-driven decisions and obscene corporate salaries. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/the-…
