ANYWAY! His replacement? Please, please, please give us someone who is half decent on the eyes. Most of the pollies are revolting little weasels (although this could be a job requirement for all I know). I am sure the women of NSW would like someone who's a bit of sex on legs hehehehehe Maybe the reality is that the ones who can't get laid go into politics? Or perhaps that if they looked half good, nobody would listen to them (just stare lustfully)? Broggers is at least half decent to look at, just he's a total d!ck... : *Disclaimer - sarcasm and kidding around does not portray over the net!*

Oh, and just take a look at the way State Rail & City Rail in NSW & Sydney Metropolitan Area operates... "Train Due Out in 3 min" 3 min later "Train Due Out in 0 min" 5 min later "The 10:45 train to <wherever> is approximately 15 minutes late, City Rail apologizes for any incovenience caused" 20 minutes later.. train finally arrives. Great public transport system :

If only we could go back to the days of State Rail....when everything worked well and it all came under the one banner. Now, due to corporatisation THEN privatisation of everything bar City Rail & Countrylink, everything is a shambles. Every company out there works against each other and not WITH each other like the old days. It seems the Hunter Valley is the only place that get mega $$ spent. Everything runs like clockwork there so as not to disturb the coal program.

cheaper??? have they actually announced the fares for this journey? & as for the quicker bit - how often have you actually driven this piece of road in morning peak hour???? tis usually quicker to WALK then go by road!!! Really Steffo - you need to be able to back up your claims with cold hard facts rather then just make wild statements aimed at getting people offside. |

Also, if you notice, I said they'd scrapped it from what I've been hearing. I never said it was concrete fact. Oh, and you think it won't be expensive? My entire bus trip for one day, that was two busses each way, cost me about $5.75. One-way ticket to central from here (Blacktown) costs me $4.40. To Paramatta is $4.00, and Epping its $4.40. You can bet that it will be ungodly expensive, just like the rest of City Rail's fares are.

Steffo, with all the problems some people have, if a frequent late train trip is all Bob Carr is to blame for, then he served you very well for the last 10 years.

We always hear people not happy with there Governments and leaders at any level; the other side of this view is, we are told its democracy this is why they are in power.
Bob Carr is the longest serving State premier in NSW ever.. The people of NSW have overwhelming supported Bob Carr for 10 years in democracy. Many loved and Voted for him, History will show he left on his own terms, was never voted out by the NSW voters. Regardless which side of politics you support he will be remembered as a productive forward thinking leader that stood for 10 years. He will be back..

Self serving to the end he will never take any responsibilty for the damage done to the state or his party. A sucessful politician only takes the challanges he is sure he will win, a genuine poitician is one that believes he can make a worthwhile difference and one who does what he believes is right for the community over his own and his parties interests. There aren't many genuine politicians anymore. : The state will be the poorer less for his going, than his arrival. - Terry McCrann Last edited by RED_EL_XR8; 29-07-2005 at 01:58 AM. |

He's a pretty funny bloke and he dealt with all kinds of shyte being put on him, and sometimes got his own back on M&R. The funniest thing I remember was the Bob Carr Impersonator ringing up on air and talking to him, it was hard to tell who was who! :nutsycuck Although the reason I didn't vote for them in the last election was our local hospital problems. How the hell can you just shut down a maternity unit???!!!

Australia has a wonderful unmanipulated uncorrupted democratic voting system.
Two questions: 1) Name TWO government forms that can be legally filled in with an erasable pencil (hint one is a ballot) 2) Name TWO things you can do in Australia that are specific to your identity but do not require proof of identity (hint one is vote). |

Regardless of how long the list is, let's see how many will put their hand up and help tackle these problems.

eg: In NSW at a time of water shortage it is illegal to fill a swimming pool from your own rain water catchment, You must purchase water. A Desalination plant that all experts said was lunacy was rushed through, with the the cost offset 2years, guess which government he was trying to lumber with his white elephant. The only growth industries in NSW are government backed backed sponsored monopolies such as toll roads.. check the figures.. A rail service crippled entirely yet only 5 years ago it could run a 10 minute service for the Olympic games. Record taxation!, yet spending on infrastructure is non existant. And beleive me many of us ARE doing something about it. Take the spin away and what is the Carr legacy? A state far more damaged when Carr left than when he arrived. Car can continue his self belief that he is like Lincoln but the public perception is a very different one. Carr government great achievments, none come to mind. The biography will certainly be much more damning than any Carr autobiography |

My latest City-Rail mis-adventure: Yesterday (Sat 30 July 2005), I was going from my place (Blacktown) to my mate's place (Chatswood). So I get to the station, two trains, one coming in 25 min (Syd Terminal express, stopping Paramatta, Strathfield, Central) and the other in 16 min (Limited Stops, Seven Hills, Westmead, Paramatta, Harris Park, Granville, Lidcombe, Strathfield, Redfern, Central). Turns out, the North Shore line was stuffed, so they said, change at central for busses. Ok. I was going to get the one coming in 16 min because it was nearly 10 min earlier then the express, and I wasn't really in any big hurry. So, 16min to go... 10min to go... 5min to go... 1min to go... 0min to go... 0min to go... 0min to go... By the time it came, the express was 2 min away, so I waited for that. And even it was five minutes late. I'd rather sit in a car for 3 hours in bumper to bumper then ever take a train again, especially a Sydney train. So sick of Public Transport...

Doesn't explain why the train came.. 10 minutes later then it was supposed to.. to Blacktown station.. at the entire other side of the city from what was happening there...
Its quite annoying, waiting for a train, when the bloody thing says "due out in 0 min" and its beein saying that for 10 - 15 min. Any if you payed attention to my post, the issue was the superlate train, not the trackwork Quote:
