Freeway labyrinth is about profit and not people

V

ictorian politicians are navigating their way through a labyrinth of troubles that focus on what is economic and ignore, completely, the environment.

Victorian’s voted in a Labor Government that recognized public transport, rather than privatized freeways were the way of the future, but it has been locked into last minute agreements made by the former Liberal Coalition Government.

Labor is now wrestling with complex financial agreements that are about profit for a few rather than what is best for most.

And now it has been reported that international governments have approached Australian embassies to voice their concern over the cancelling of Melbourne's East West Link.

This economic circus seems misplaced in a country that should be doing all it can to mitigate its carbon dioxide emissions and within that should be pushing toward emissions-cutting public transport rather than build infrastructure that encourages further private transport.

Meanwhile, the ABC reports: “France urges Australia to keep climate commitment ahead of UN summit”.
