ah great, another win for the roads... meanwhile truckies get stuffed again. roads are already shit, what difference does it make

Blake Turner2026-06-26T04:14:12.000Z

ah yeah cos fuel's free for the rest of us? get real

Aria Wilson2026-06-26T03:48:12.000Z

Mate just let them carry more weight, fuel costs are insane. Bishop's out of touch as usual

Blake Turner2026-06-26T04:12:12.000Z

yeah nah bishop's right actually. roads round my way are already falling apart, don't need more damage from heavier trucks

Sophie Ngata2026-06-26T04:36:12.000Z

Typical government - happy to spend billions on cycle lanes but can't help the people who actually keep the country moving

Jack Morrison2026-06-26T05:23:12.000Z

Aria Wilson2026-06-26T05:24:12.000Z

lol cope. we're all paying for it one way or another

Jack Morrison2026-06-26T05:48:12.000Z

guess we'll just keep doing more trips then, burn more fuel, more emissions. real smart move chris

Blake Turner2026-06-26T06:06:12.000Z

imagine thinking more diesel is the answer. we're trying to reduce emissions ffs

Aria Wilson2026-06-26T06:08:12.000Z

Sophie Ngata2026-06-26T06:10:12.000Z
