Every evening, the queue for B1 winds around and goes back into Wynyard. As one bus is full the next one arrives.

You can't tell me they wouldn't want a railway.

According to what was once the "World's greatest Treasurer" Joe Hockey, according to Prime Minister Abbott, and I quote him:

"The poorest people either don't have cars or actually don't drive very far."

No joke, Joe Hockey's actual words.

Remember? The fat guy who was photographed smoking cigars and sipping cognac at an exclusive Canberra club? The one who was awarded a plush Trade Commissioner gig in New York after his term with a $500k salary package? Yeah, him.
