EPISODE 8 WHO BLAMED ROGER RABBIT?

A series of episodes about wrong thinking in Australian railways, and what can be done.

Radically Rethinking Railways in Australia
EPISODE 8 WHO BLAMED ROGER RABBIT?

We travel to Los Angeles to examine the false narrative of a 'road lobby' - an evil cabal - killing off Australia's railways and how it is false and designed to absolve the true instigators of blame - the railways themselves, and specifically the bureaucrats tasked with making them succeed.

Nobody lost their job or was sanctioned by law for the massive decline in Australian railways since the 1920s, because they pushed this false narrative to a gullible rail enthusiast community who spread it around.

We look at how the seed for this false narrative is the idea of a conspiracy of road interests - taking its cue from the famous United States versus National City Lines case of 1951 - and the cultural impact it has even to this day - Hollywood even creating literal cartoon villains.

But in Australia's case, not only is there no conspiracy but you can't see much evidence of the 'cabal' succeeding in getting road funding instead - with Australia's road network being very poor.
