This section of road, especially between where the new section finishes west of Buangor and the Mount Langi Ghiran picnic road turnoff is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire highway between Melbourne and Adelaide.

I know this because we live at Mount Langi Ghiran and parallel to the Western Highway, and risk our lives simply entering and existing the road on a daily basis.

For a small group of locals – they do not speak for all locals – to bring the project to a halt because they have their own personal agendas without any consideration for the safety of thousands of road users who use this national highway daily is beyond reason.

The railway overpass at Mount Langi Ghiran suffers from black ice during frost season and anyone who has experienced driving through black ice will agree. It's an uncontrollable and dangerous experience.

I just hope common sense prevails here and no one is injured or killed in a collision while this saga drags on, we just need a safe highway for all road users, designed and built to serve for the next 50 years and beyond.

Doesn’t anyone, especially primary producers and their advisers, ever learn?

The great south land has been pillaged for decades by foreign ‘investors’ under the ‘we need foreign capital’ lie perpetrated by clueless leaders in Canberra; by Treasury; by the RBA; by the media and by education institutions that refuse to teach the truth.

Consequently the vast majority of Aussies have no idea of basic economics.

I refer to the WMT 8 March report of Treasury Secretary John Fraser’s speech to the VFF grains conference spruiking the need for foreign investment.

Anyone with an interest in this issue should consider two simple questions: What is foreign capital and where does it come from?

It is nothing more than binary code created and entered in a foreign bank computer. The same entry could have been made in one of our computers - not in an Aussie bank but in Mr Fraser’s own Treasury department. Under our constitution the Parliament is meant to create and control our supply of credit (i.e. money) and use it to invest in nation-building, develop our wealth and protect our future.

He could create all the credit needed for infrastructure at virtually no cost. Of course he won’t because successive governments have signed various international obligations that force us to borrow binary code created by the bankers (foreign and local) who charge exorbitant interest rates and fund the purchase (i.e. theft) of our wealth by foreigners.

Mr Fraser continues the scam saying that “For Treasury to fund these big ticket infrastructure projects it would mean raising more revenue” (i.e. tax). This is nothing but adult male bovine dung!

For goodness sake please stop trying to buy regional votes by further by wrecking young Aussies chances of home affordability.

You surely know subsidising home ownership by doubling the grant will result in higher prices. Haven't you any interest in the history of the First-Home-Buyers-Grant?

Increase land-supply and reduce taxes instead -  but this is not a socialists cup of tea. The rest of us live on the real earth Mr Andrews! We, the people, are not sheep sir.
