"The transport minister has spent much of the last year in a prolonged state of economic agony. In November, he told a roading conference that just paying for the 17 four-lane highways his party had promised would cost $56 billion and require a 70% hike to fuel taxes and road user charges. Road tolls wouldn’t touch the sides of the shortfall and public-private partnerships weren’t a panacea, he admitted."
