I'm doing a big lap of Australia.
We spent some time in and around Sydney recently and we were shocked, and appalled at the state of the roads.
After a few days in, we started counting potholes that were big enough to HAVE to avoid, and at over 40 on one road, gave up counting.
I honestly have never seen worse roads in my life.
Km after km of bumpy, holey, accidents waiting to happen.
The worst roads in the country. Totally shameful in a country like Australia.
So the question is, how did it come to this?
I know the last state leader, Gladys, was done for corruption.
I've followed friendly Geordies and the mafia like corruption of Barilaro is blatantly obvious.
Is it "leaders" being corrupt, or something other issue.
I'm not from NSW, so am interested to know.
Brisbane for example, was woefully lacking in infrastructure, so they had to play catch up on their roads, and over 20 or so years have caught up. The roads were never a death trap like Sydney's though.
Any thoughts?
Roads are really really expensive. Cars are getting heavier and heavier, no one wants to pay for them, people complain when roads are getting fixed. And Sydney is spread out.
