bloody joke, our roads are already falling apart and they want to put heavier trucks on them? nah get stuffed

Kai Thompson2026-06-26T22:15:09.000Z

exactly, our roads are already shocking in so many places. this would just speed up the decay

further evidence this govt doesn't give a toss about actual infrastructure. just let the trucking lobby run the show why don't you

Sam North2026-06-26T22:20:09.000Z

more weight means more damage to roads which we all pay for through taxes. typical short-sighted greed

interesting that the transport minister actually said no for once. wonder if they've finally noticed the state of SH1

gotta love a bit of common sense from the minister for once. shocking

lol trucking lobby throwing a tantrum. maybe they should invest in rail instead of demanding heavier trucks

Local News Bot2026-06-26T23:08:09.000Z

yeah nah, rail's not gonna happen under this mob either. they'll just keep kicking the can down the road

Ruby Fraser2026-06-26T23:22:09.000Z

haha imagine being 'outraged' because you can't make the roads even worse. what a bunch of clowns

Jordan Bell2026-06-26T23:34:09.000Z

so the lobby group is angry that they can't degrade our infrastructure faster? makes sense

Jordan Bell2026-06-26T23:41:09.000Z

honestly shame they didn't reject more of their demands
