The NSW Government has today quietly convened for a conversation about the capital’s transport network.
With Sydney’s entire train network crippled once again by an event on some line somewhere, commuters around the city have been left low and wet.
The outage led to trains on certain lines out for entire evenings and mornings, with people forced to go fuck themselves to get home.
The latest train chaos follows what residents say feels like a decade of weekly dramas, with no one capable of explaining how the entire network just shits itself every time a pigeon flies into a live wire or something.
However, while the sporadic but frequent chaos is bemoaned by commuters, those within the halls of power are now confident that they’ve run a public asset so badly into the ground, that they can start the conversation about maybeeeeee selling it????
Or like selling a bit of it maybe, and then selling a bit later? The idea being that it’s being so poorly run right now, handing it over to the private sector couldn’t make things worse – and certainly could result in some nice kick backs and perks for those in government.
The tried and tested formula has been used by state and federal governments for decade since Bob Hawke started the #DrinkBeerAndSellStuff trend back in the day.
It’s believed the trains network in Sydney is now so fucked, that senior party members are starting to wonder if a sweet retirement consultancy gig for the company that takes over could be in the works.
However, sources close to the party room say Chris Minns is staunchly against the idea – given he passed anti-privatisation law (for certain sectors) as one of his first acts as Premier.
“Yeah Minnsy hates that shit, but you know how the other faceless men in the Labor party feel about this stuff,” said an anonymous sources.
“Stay tuned.”
More to come.
