A Quote by Gladys Berejiklian

Politicians who lack the vision to lead the community on big issues like public transport often hide their inaction by blaming other levels of government when anyone complains.
The children themselves, before they get access to a car, are captives of their suburb, save for those families where the housewives surrender continuity in their own lives to chauffeur their children to lessons, doctors, and other services that could be reached via public transport in the city.
Having a police presence on public transport is vital to ensuring customers are safe.

It is un-American, it is unjust to target any group of folks whether they are African-American, Hispanic, poor or elderly when it comes to access to the vote.
No elderly person should be like an “exile” in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.
The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing.
PubMed Central is vital for researchers and the public alike. Only through free access can everyone find out where the cutting edge of research lies.

In the Internet world, both ends essentially pay for access to the Internet system, and so the providers of access get compensated by the users at each end.

People are starting to realize that the disability community has been disenfranchised and deserves to have its rights recognized, which I see as a positive trend. I don't think it'll be a quick process, but I see more attention being given to it.
Nowhere in politics is there such a mismatch between public and private realm as in transport. Everyone on the M6 last weekend would have agreed with Transport Minister Alasdair Darling's reported hatred of cars. They too wanted drivers off the roads and on to public transport. Go to it, Mr Darling, they cried in unison, get rid of all those cars. Except, of course, their own. Other people's cars are traffic. My car is the outward essence of my being. It is my hat, stick and cane. It embodies my freedom as a citizen and my right as a democrat. My car is my soul in flight.
