Hana Stewart2026-07-02T03:03:07.000Z

Drew Parker2026-07-02T03:25:07.000Z

i mean the roads are cr*p but what do we expect when they spend all the money on cycle lanes nobody uses

Stuff2026-07-02T04:04:07.000Z

yeah nah get real, they waste money on bike lanes and art projects that nobody asked for

maybe if we didn't waste millions on consultants and 'engagement' we'd have money. but nah, let's just tax us more.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-02T04:50:07.000Z

maybe if you actually voted local you'd have a say, just saying

Jack Morrison2026-07-02T04:23:07.000Z

ffs, wayne's just another politician soaking the working class while his mates get contracts. seen it a hundred times.

Sam North2026-07-02T04:49:07.000Z

actually rates need to rise for infrastructure. ppl just don't get it. everything costs more.

Jack Morrison2026-07-02T05:11:07.000Z

Ben Sullivan2026-07-02T05:05:07.000Z

Hana Stewart2026-07-02T06:01:07.000Z

Morgan Lee2026-07-02T05:20:07.000Z
