Key government infrastructure investments are ending up as super-expensive white elephants : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 19/3/2026

If these projects made sense, politicians would invest their own money. Instead, taxpayers are left footing the bill.

White elephants are the only sort of result to be expected from Socialist governments; and Australians need to recognise that Socialist governments are all we have had since John Howard, 30 years ago; yes, the Coalition too.

A few minutes ago I read an article suggesting that the current Socialist government is deliberately wrecking Australia to ‘prove’ to the unthinking herd that more government is their only hope. That might sound fantastic to the majority, but they just need to think about what is going on - replacement of the population; high cost of living; fuel shortages due to the deliberate policy of just-in-time stores; loss of manufacturing; climate scaremongering and some of the highest electricity prices in the world; breakdown of law and order; red tape, restrictions on private enterprise - all of the things that have historically led to complete government control.

The only thing now is for Australia to hit rock bottom, at which time Australians MIGHT wake up to what they have allowed to happen. They MIGHT even do something about it.

If it was left to people like the author and ttbn, conservative do nothing people, then we would all be riding around in horse and carts on dirt roads, with candles for light. History shows every Labor infrastructure and social reform project is opposed by the do nothing conservative club, always whaling, its too costly, its not needed.
