  1. Australia's toll road economy is unsustainable. Earlier this year, ex-#ACCC chairman Allan Fels and transport expert David Cousins released a report claiming Transurban is exploiting #Sydney motorists, urging the #NSW government to take over toll roads. Transurban controls 11 of NSW’s 13 toll roads, each with different contracts and price hikes. The report says NSW motorists will pay over $123 billion in tolls over 37 years, with Transurban’s #WestConnex motorway accounting for more than half. #highwayrobbery ##privitisation #greed #MultinationalCorporations #mostTolledCityOnEarth
