She indicated that these roads may be tolled. The Transport Agency currently has three toll roads: The Northern Gateway Toll Road
I have been thinking about cliches a bit recently, having read bygeorge’s excellent articles on the subject, but watching Winston use his parliamentary privilege to accuse a whole new raft of people of invading his privacy over his superannuation overpayments three years ago, the obvious cliche comes to mind.
