Anyone would think you are all going to roll over and die if the NBN doesn't go in.
I wouldnt go quite that far
I just think that if they dont at least try to do it properly up front,
it wont happen.
Ie i live near where Burke, Toorak and Tooronga Rds meet the Sth Eastern clogterial.
When i bought my house, the road was a 2 lane arterial with traffic lights.
For political expediency, when Kennett wanted to flog it off to private industry, he put bridges over the arterial to sweeten the deal,
but wouldnt stump up enough to go over the rail at the same time.
I guess there was no immediate return on capital.
Now, like a lot of other rail crossings, it is a nightmare that will cost 10x more to fix than it would have to have done it properly.

As for organ transplants, i thought that the problem there was donors.
Its only if you are half dying that getting into a hospital is a problem.
