As COVID-19 restrictions are slowly being wound back around the country, NSW residents, who have briefly forgotten about the failure of the state’s infrastructure to keep up with the breakneck pace of development, are suddenly realising that the giddy rush of getting to work on time could soon by a distant memory.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the transition is going to be tricky to manage.
“On the one hand we are losing cash hand over fist due to this stupid virus” she said, in a strictly off-the-record interview this week.
“On the other hand, it’s been nice reading the paper without being called out for not providing any infrastructure for the rampant urban sprawl our government is encouraging and the cheaply-constructed apartment towers that are being slapped together.”
” What we really need is another outbreak to last us into the next election. Might look into that.”
Meanwhile, NSW residents are planning on being pissed off in the short term so when election time does roll around, they will be over it and can simply vote for the same party they always vote for.
“It’s been great driving to work on roads that are designed to handle that exact amount of traffic” says local draftsman Henry Tahoma.
“But now the lockdown is ending it’s almost as if the NSW Government has been cramming new residents in to prop up the economy with greasy developer cash and total disregard for the quality of life of the state’s residents. Or something.”
“I guess pepper spray really is the only way to pram people on to trains in a packed Central Station”
