As expected: ‘Not my fault’. Oh for the days of Paddington Bear and real ministerial responsibility. – Vincent O’Donnell
This article exemplifies exactly why the general public distrust politicians (not all, but most). For a minister to abrogate their ministerial responsibility to a departmental head because they “received advice from their departments” is utter nonsense.

I can’t imagine any truck operator using Portrush Road if the new north-south corridor provides a faster transit option.
That would be a disastrous outcome given the number of schools, aged care, childcare and retail businesses along Cross Road, not to mention the additional costs of noise mitigation along Cross Road (eg. new brick fences for adjacent housing, similar to Portrush Road). – Paul McKinnon
