FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A planned central transport authority for Sydney could become just another layer of bureaucracy, Sydney’s Lord Mayor Clover Moore says.
Ms Moore says she is surprised to hear about plans to establish the committee, which reports suggested was a move by the NSW government to take transport and traffic power away from her.
News Ltd reported on Wednesday that Premier Barry O’Farrell will announce new laws setting up a joint state government-City of Sydney committee to manage transport in the CBD.
In a statement Ms Moore said she was interested to see how the new system would differ from current arrangements.
“The city has limited powers and the NSW government already has to approve all of the city’s transport projects – including all bike routes,” she said.
She added the council already worked closely with NSW transport agencies.
“The city has neither stopped anything the state has sought to improve transport, nor has the city done anything without state approval,” she said.
“So unless this new panel has any authority or funding to take action, it will be in danger of becoming just another level of bureaucracy.”
Both the council and the government shared the same objective in wanting to see 80 per cent of city commuters using public transport and 10 per cent of all trips made by cycling, she said.
