'Infrastructure PM' or "destruction PM?'

Opposition leader,
Tony Abbott -
infrastructure
Prime Minister?

A massive upgrade of our public transport infrastructure is the least we can do to have any chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change.

However, the leader of the Opposition, Tony Abbott, wants to be known as the “infrastructure PM” taking Australia in precisely the wrong direction and deeper into the climate change embrace.

As the “infrastructure PM, Mr Abbott wants more roads and associated facilities to enhance the wealth of private enterprise and let those of us who depend upon public transport to wrestle with a vastly inadequate and crumbling edifice.

Tristan Edis wrote in Climate Spectator in his story headed: “Abbott’s infrastructure tunnel vision” that the Opposition leader’s 21^st century vision seems singularly focussed on 20^th century roads.

“I would like to think that should we win the election, I will be known as an infrastructure prime minister, because we need the infrastructure of the 21^st century if we are going to have the prosperity, if we are going to have the productivity Australian people need,” Mr Abbott said.
