No, Mr. Abbott almost nothing signifies progress more than new efficient, effective and integrated Public Transport Networks!

Roads and road tunnels represent more congestion, pollution, noise, visual contamination and divide and displace our communities.

Ignorance not progress is signified by more new roads Mr Abbott!
