Shortcut laughable

Did anyone else nearly fall off their chair laughing about the Government's proposed study into building a shortcut onto the Woy Woy Peninsula?

It's either April Fools Day or there must be an election coming up.

Does anyone seriously believe that any government is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a road so that a few thousand Woy Woy residents can get home 20 minutes quicker?

The government would not even give us money to put in a decent bridge to Woy Woy.

The $1 million allocated just for the study could be better spent on the Peninsula roads themselves or perhaps adding another train service or two to really help ease commuter congestion on the roads.

This proposal by Jim Lloyd is quite insulting if he thinks that such a pie in the sky idea will win votes.

If anything the people of the Peninsula should see this for what it is and vote against him.

What is next I ask: a bridge or perhaps a tunnel from Ettalong to Palm Beach or maybe he should throw a $1m at the proposed Fast Ferry?

Oops, hope I have not given him any ideas.
