There's a lot to be said for user pays in my opinion.
I recently did a round trip...Sutherland to Windsor then back via North Sydney....If I'd taken the conventional route that trip would have taken me 3-4 hours in travel time and around 150 sets of traffic lights. By taking the M5, M7, M2, Harbour Tunnel and Eastern Distributor I paid around $15 in tolls but probably saved $20 in fuel and 2 hours , so user pays tolls are fine. I don't think non users should have to pay for roads via taxes though
