TRUCKS AND TRAFFIC * Australia - It's a city problem
Sydney,NSW,Australia -Business Spectator, by Bob Murphy -13 Jul 2009: -- Australian Trucking Association Chairman, Trevor Martyn, and Chief Executive, Stuart St Clair, are off on a two week truck trip from Darwin to Perth via Kathering, Kununurra, Halls Creek, Broome, Port Hedland, Karratha, Carnarvon, and Geraldton... Ummmm. Gents, that's not where the problem is... The Northern Territory and Western Australia have the most productive and innovative heavy vehicle regulatory regimes in Australia... Nor is that where the people are. That itinerary would be lucky to cover 3 per cent of Australia's population... The problem is in the east coast cities and surrounding areas, not in the outback... The biggest problem is in New South Wales and the biggest metro area there is a trucking disaster not to mention that the greater metropolitan region contains at least 25 per cent of Australia's population... ATA needs to refocus its efforts where the real problems are, and that certainly isn't in Far North and Northwest Australia... And guys, kidnap some NT and WA transport regulators while you're cruising around in the scrub out there and bring them back here to the East Coast... We could use them to fix the regulatory problems here where the people are, and where it matters...Labels: trucks traffic
