About this episode
Sydney commuters express frustration over frequent rail shutdowns, particularly during weekends and holidays like Easter, when public transport is most needed. Despite praise for smooth service during events like the Matildas game, the systems unreliability during peak times, especially with soaring petrol prices, is a major concern. Readers also highlight political issues, warning of potential protest votes due to inequality and lack of bold action from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Other letters address environmental concerns, such as water consumption by data centres, and historical context, blaming past Western intervention for Middle East oil tensions. Tributes are paid to Indigenous leader Rhoda Roberts, who passed away at 66. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
