The political climate's right for a New Deal, leftards. Any party offering a nation-building infrastructure plan could rake it in right now.
A national solar power scheme. Turn the rooftops of the East Coast into a giant solar power generator and put in a cable to South East Asia. We could power KL, Singapore and Jakarta, not to mention ourselves. Build batteries instead of substations, no worries. Next, a high-speed rail line from Brisbane to Melbourne. City to city in 6 hours by 2034. If Japan and China can do this, so can we. Put it down. Thoughts? |

Still suffering from my $48 bill for the summer quarter with full air con day and night sometimes...
I'm ready to contribute to the network... all the dozy bastards have to do is make sure - after the State government here gold-plated it for them with massive upgrades at our cost before 'selling' it to their mates - that it can carry the load. Their current wail is that too much input could damage the infrastructure - poor widdle fellows - apparently it hasn't done so yet but it 'might' ... just their excuse for putting up their prices while lowering ours. Nothing but a pack of thieves and liars. Re-nationalise power, gas and roads!!! NOW!! |

Unfortunately this govt. seems to be uninclined to spend money on infrastructure. They'd prefer we get desperate and then pay through the nose to big business instead.

While we're on China, we need to fix the relationship. Let's get Xi over, schmooze him at Kirribilli House like Trump did in Mar a Lago.
Sorry about AUKUS, Mr Xi, but you know how it goes. Talk soft, big stick, all that. Try our delish red wine - it's lucky, no? Look at all our Chows, we're just like you. Australia is a middle-power, half European, half Asian. Half in the past, half in the future. We're 60,000 years old for Christ's sake. This is the Asian century, we know that. We want you on board.

Public housing - a consistent poller. A ten percent stock for community housing clause for all new high-rise DAs.
Mix the public with the private and do away with houso slums. Join up with NDIS providers and get disabled people into good, urban housing. Help the homeless. The voters want it, why aren't we doing it? Put it down. |

Well no more. You like rural communities - how about a regional resettlement scheme? Give those on student visas a chance to move onto bridging visas by moving to work in small towns and regional cities. You'd like better local health services, no? Here's your chance. Support a rural renewal scheme. We'll turn the tide and get new, young Australians back to the regions. Think big. Stop moaning. Put it down. |

Title: Re: Australian infrastructure Post by Laugh till you cry on Feb 9th, 2022 at 9:57pm
This is why private industry doesn't do infrastructure projects and why infrastructure projects are not commercially viable for investors:
"After 56 years, the people of NSW finally paid off the cost of building the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1988. However, the toll was still be levied to pay for the under-construction Sydney Harbour Tunnel. Fast forward 30 years and the toll revenue is generally used for road projects across NSW.Jun 25, 2018" The Snowy Mountains scheme is postulated to have a 'real' rate of return of 1.2% which would not qualify it as a commercial private industry project. "Later, three major studies of economic doubt emerged (i) by Rose (ii) by Davidson using a critical discount rate of 7% (iii) by McColl. The solution to these doubts, after the experience of 50 years of the Snowy Scheme, is offered. There are two major factors. First, the installations show a longer life than nominally accepted, much longer than the 70 years set for repayment. Second, the art of cost–benefit analysis did not at the time incorporate inflation, so the critics were unable to take it into account. The inflation rate in 1949–1999, not large but monotonically increasing, is 5.8%. Thus Davidson's 7%, which is also the rate of Snowy repayment to government, becomes a “real” rate of 1.2%. Using these concepts, the Snowy becomes, ex-post, a brilliant investment." |
Title: Re: Australian infrastructure Post by Ye Grappler on Feb 9th, 2022 at 11:36pm
So the whole point is whether or not some asshole can make a profit?
Thanks for your enlightening comment LTYC. Governments are not in business and nor should business be in government controlling it - government is in the business of providing infrastructure that meets the national needs and develops a solid future for all - not those of business - and government does not need to make a profit from these ventures - it only needs to follow a plan to break even while offering substantive benefits to the community/populace/nation. I think that ties it all up pretty well, if I do say so myself. |

No convict labour or chain gangs.

That depends. TNT invested in a crappy monorail that slid around the Sydney CBD, empty most of the time. God knows how they cashed in on that. The Sydney airport line charges $18 to go 13 km, it's money for jam. The Sydney Opera House stages concerts at $200 to $300 a ticket. Massively subsidised, it never even breaks even. And yet, it gave Australia a soul. Who could imagine Sydney without it? Who could imagine the world without it? Australia, a nation where builders labourers have opinions about architecture, and managed to conserve much of Sydney's heritage. Think big. |

I liked the monorail. Airport line - we build it - they own it and rip us off.. this is progress. Can't put a price on culture... Builders labourers have as much sense and taste as anyone else - equality, innit? I'm happy to see a lot of excellent historical architecture preserved instead of faceless monoliths built by third world standards like Homebush. They're only scum if they are blue collar unionists - don't criticise the angels in nursing, firies and police etc. etc. |

The Australian grubberment is chock full of failures who could not organise a screw in a brothel.
It comprises mostly of people who have no chance of ever being half way capable in private industry and to who hard works are foreign words. Everything that goes through any grubberment departments is made overly complex and overly beauocratic to the point of total structural failure. Combined with the use of "consultants" which is to say other ex grubberment deadbeats playing games for cash. And the significant propensity for internal corruption. We have a series of non-functional, corrupt, incompetent deadbeats who suck money in and put very little back into infrastructure. In any civilized country, they would build a huge gaol to house the entire bunch of corrupt, criminal and incompetent morons for life. Personally I prefer the China option, but we would need a lot more bullets. |

The first infrastructure need for Australia is a full and public review of our immigration policy - whatever that is... people are an infrastructure component and unless we are importing the right types or educating our own up first to the right types, nothing much will happen.

THOSE are the groups constantly whining about being oppressed and being victims and causing such a ruckus all the time about how hard done they are here in Australia, with all its benefits. For myself, as a member of the Ruling Elite Class, no such concept exists, Wogboy. Get back in your kennel. The reality is that White Men have been subjected to an undeclared war for forty years now....some are turning radical.... others are waking up and seeking answers..... commenting on reality isn't a whine about victimhood... once the boys wake up, the rest will be the victims, let me assure you, spouse of a slum lord's attack dog.... turn up that air con, boy, and cool off. Yer attack dog missus would have done better saying they couldn't get anyone on Chrissie Eve rather than coming the tyrant... and saying the thing, part of the advertised rental deal, would be fixed as soon as possible. Arrogantly throwing it back at the renter was abuse, pure and simple, and you both need to grow up and learn to treat others with respect and courtesy. I hope it comes back to bite her.
