I had to drive teachers home

after work last Saturday and as we bounced over potholes the conversation turned to that topic. "Ausaid should have fixed all the roads at the same time as it fixed the ones at Market." That is what I was told by educated people. Why should Ausaid do it? They always do things like that. It is their responsibility. I beg your pardon? This is an independent country with a government which has responsibility for infrastructure. It collects revenue. It needs to prioritise. What is more needed at the moment - military and defence capability? Or infrastrucure development?
