The Canberra Times gives Simon Corbell enough rope to hang himself as he describes the wonderful time he had in Oregon, joining the public transport Haj to “Portland a modern-day Mecca for public transport gurus.”
Try out this for failed reasoning:
Mr Corbell said Canberra was in a similar position to where Portland was 20 years ago and, with the exception of rail and light rail, the ACT Government was focused on similar policy areas.
Great, we’re going to be just like them only without the bits that make it work.
