Mattonews In a decade all d extra trains& toll roads r going to be overloaded again Bigger pop more schools &trains more billions more intake So it'd be endless cycle of growth We r taking in too many duds w little Eng Not enough skilled engineers States&Fed dont plan together

Mattonews $900mils for new trains New Metro rail rollout Extra demountable classrooms for schools They r telling us that d big migrants intake is not matching our capacity More hosp beds r needed All of these r caused by big migrants import Bigger pop is costing billions

Mattonews Does she know why demand is up? No. The roads are rooted. Once the build is done cars are back and train passenger numbers go down. Hopeless beyond belief.

Mattonews By ordering Waratahs from China instead of manufacturing them in Newcastle (Hunter valley, not UK) GladysB displays the same subservient mindset as those famous politicians in the pic below. Not proudly Australian

Mattonews For those who question train should be “made in NSW”, just take your picket price into consideration.

Mattonews Waratah trains again manufactured in China. Why not in NSW? GladysB damages the local economy. Has ScottMorrisonMP not promised more jobs?

Mattonews Why are we not building these in Australia

Mattonews Govt are fools, more trains isn't the answer!

Mattonews Are they being built in Australia?

Mattonews Read ‘Successive governments haven’t been arsed to plan ahead’

Mattonews Really wish our politicians looked further ahead than the next election when planning infrastructure. Sydney

Mattonews what about the fast train what is happening there?
