bloody typical labour policy – sounds good on paper but falls apart when you actually look at it. ferry's not even public transport the way they mean it

Ben Sullivan2026-06-16T00:26:31.000Z

they should just make the whole public transport free and tax the hell out of utes

Drew Parker2026-06-16T00:37:31.000Z

labour's transport policy is a mess, cap everything except common sense

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T01:07:31.000Z
