The same thing has happened in the NT. One of the reasons for taking away the (//) freedom on our hiways was because of the ever shrinking road maintenance budget. The only difference here is that there is no way the current government will be let off the hook at the next election. And one of the reasons for that is the fact that the opposition has a clear and opposing view on the subject. One of the problems in NSW was the fact that the opposition didn't really set themselves far enough apart from the incumbent government. At least that is how it looked from here.
