Chattering classes are more of a pollution risk than trucks

The chattering classes of the inner city produce more air pollution over Sydney than heavy vehicles, according to the NSW Roads Minister, Duncan Gay.

In one of his most strident defences of his government's motorway agenda, Mr Gay used a lunch-time presentation on Tuesday to outline his concerns about what he sees as Sydney's "anti-roads zealots".

"I am increasingly concerned by a local anti-road movement in Sydney and elsewhere which reveres dogma over reality," said Mr Gay who, as minister, is presiding over the development of two major multi-billion dollar motorways in Sydney, the NorthConnex and WestConnex toll-roads.

"They conveniently forget that thousands of commuters each day need to drive to rail and bus stations, ferry wharves, hospitals, schools, shopping centres and sporting grounds," Mr Gay said.
