No WestCONnex

Transport emissions are rising fast and outweighing the gains in other areas. #WestCONnex car-centric cities are the wrong way forward.

The shame goes on both the LNP and Labor, who knew full well the whole CON of #WestCONnex and were told loud and clear by the community that it must stop. At least 12 people were arrested for trying to stop it.

Good video from a new youtube channel showing how #WestCONnex was never going to work. youtube.com/watch?v=MkcPLxbV…

Well of course motorists aren't to blame. The real people to blame are the crooked politicians and lobbyists who foisted another few generations of climate disaster inducing car dependency on Sydney. abc.net.au/news/2023-12-11/r…

We need a Royal Commission into how #WestCONnex became the top transport priority for NSW in 2011. youtube.com/watch?v=MAPS5p6o…

Yes. Their credits include organising the 'worst gig ever' for westconnex at the Enmore theatre where the voices of 1000+ locals were ignored. youtu.be/lbeswLvcY0o?si=Ji3Q…

Here's a better one:

Sydney - welcome to #westconnex. Another two generations of congestion, crashes, pollution, tolls, car dependency and a worsening climate emergency.

"Those of us who walk, bike and take public transport subsidise driving, not only with our money, but with our time, our health, and our lives." youtu.be/qp75-46PnMY?si=xwh-…

Dangerous truck driving the wrong way through #WestCONnex, but hey, yes, let's increase the speed limit.

It might be the end of the road for Gladys - but her legacy of "toll mania" (her own words) will be with us for generations. #westCONnex

Wow - another beautiful cancer stack for Sydney. Just what we need. Image: #WestCONnex exhaust stack design for Rozelle

Great video highlighting the mistake of the Western Harbour toll road. Public and active transport is needed instead for a sustainable future. youtu.be/G8Yn1zEIHpc

Letters to the editor about the decorated exhaust stacks, AKA 'tattoos around an anus'.

Transurban again paying no tax while raking in billions in tolls. #westconnex is a financial scam masquerading as a transport solution. youtu.be/L_1V86vG3IY

If the govt wants to reduce CO2 emissions in transport, the focus must be on a large-scale shift to public & active transport. Improving vehicle emission standards is a blip & won't address the wider problems of car dependency: road trauma, physical inactivity, congestion & cost.
