I hear that the results are being eagerly awaited by our esteemed Federal
Transport Minister.  

Now, instead of moaning about the lack of a rail lobby, what if readers of
this newsgroup faxed our nominations for the worst roads - RAILroads.  
Who's going to argue against the assertion that the worst roads in
Australia are not the ones paved with rail?  And if anyone in the road
lobby does argue against it - then they'll have to defend why they're not
using them.

My nomination for Australia's worst road is the Melbourne-Adelaide RAILroad.
