@strypey & given #AU's tradition of picking up the worst ideas from #NZ and running with them we'll be on steam locos by next year. Take that #China! If you don't want our coal, we'll just jolly well burn it ourselves!
@strypey As you observed, a big win would be preserving/reintroducing the green tech that's nearly a century old. Visited family last year; my auntie was marveling at the fact that they're laying new tram lines in Sydney 50 years after she watched them being ripped out.
Our cities of Kitchener and Waterloo have been ripped up for the last two years as the municipal government installs a new Light Rail Transit system. In our case, it's only about 40 years ago that the previous tram tracks were ripped out. And when I lived in Hamilton 30 years ago the road crews were running into tram tracks buried under the asphalt. Guess what Hamilton council is debating now? LRT, of course.
