> we don’t have a big enough population to afford to maintain so many kms of safe state highways
Highways that seem to need constant patching. Unlike well-built rails.
Highways made of bitumen. Which is a byproduct of oil refining. As we learned when there was that fuss about the bitumen from Marsden Point being better than the imported stuff.
So like fossil fuels, roads aren't actually sustainable. Something we need to transition away from.
