So recent survey was just rubber stamping and was always going to pushed through.

What the hell is this shit. Green bridges. We need bloody car bridges

So this unnecessary, expensive eyesore is going ahead. Why don’t the LNP merge with labor and the greens into one mass of irrational tax and spend addiction, and at least save us the costly farce of elections?

You can visit World Alzheimer’s Month’s website for more information.
