bloody joke, our roads are already falling apart and they want to put heavier trucks on them? nah get stuffed
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
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
yeah nah, rail's not gonna happen under this mob either. they'll just keep kicking the can down the road
haha imagine being 'outraged' because you can't make the roads even worse. what a bunch of clowns
so the lobby group is angry that they can't degrade our infrastructure faster? makes sense
honestly shame they didn't reject more of their demands
