@unionagainstdhmo @muntedcrocodile Munted crocodile (by the way, I love your username), I'm genuinely curious about something.

So let's get this straight. You don't like 'socialism', and you don't like governments providing services to citizens, and you're a fan of social Darwinism.

If that's the case, what in the bloody hell are you doing in Canberra?!

Seriously, the whole town is basically public servants, defence personnel, consultants, contractors, and the people who provide services to them.

And yeah, if you're being directly or indirectly paid by taxpayers, then of course you're going to vote for parties that support government services.

With the light rail, the issue at this stage is that the network isn't extensive enough yet. And the solution is more light rail.

It's fantastic if you live between Gungahlin and Civic. Public transport along its own dedicated right of way spends a lot less time in traffic. But it needs to be rolled out further for more people to gain the benefits.
