Debt should be used to fix transport system
واضح آرشیو وب فارسی:اهوراوب: TIN news: Victorians, particularly Melburnians, know just how crucial is transport, and how costly – and frustrating – is inadequate transport infrastructure. We have found out the hard way. Every day, more and more people are losing time and money, let alone wellbeing and peace of mind, stuck in traffic jams and at level crossings. Then there are the countless delays to suburban and regional rail services that are becoming overcrowded to the point of intolerable. An audit by Infrastructure Australia, an independent statutory body, found the annual cost of delays on Melbourne's roads will triple to more than $9 billion in the next 15 years if the problem is not fixed. So, there is a huge financial incentive to invest in transport infrastructure; not spending the money would be a false economy. Worse, it would create misery to such an extent that Melbourne's reputation as the world's most liveable city would be trashed. The need for such investment is augmented by the fast pace of growth of Melbourne's population. It is expanding by about 100,000 a year and is expected to almost double from its current 4 million by 2050. The economic and social benefits of infrastructure occur for generations. It is only logical and fair, then, that the costs are spread across generations of taxpayers. The Age has long argued the best way to fund roads and rail and other elements of the transport system is through public debt. With needs so evident and interest rates so historically low, now is a prime time to incur such debt. We welcome Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas' openness to borrowing in the name of taxpayers for such important investment. He has publicly argued there is a good case to increase the state's debt to provide the transport system upgrade so clearly required. Given the widespread knee-jerk, populist opposition to public borrowing, we recognise his courage in fostering this debate. There are indeed good reasons to be wary of debt. If it is used to fund recurring spending, rather than investment, it can become a terrible problem. One reason there is concern is previous Victorian Labor governments increased debt so recklessly that just paying the interest bill became one of the biggest items in the budget. But that was decades ago, and the lesson has been well-learnt. Debt levels have fallen to truly modest levels, leaving the current government ample room to borrow for transport infrastructure without putting undue pressure on the budget or risking the state's prized credit rating. An analysis by Fairfax Media shows Victoria could raise almost $25 billion over the next decade by increasing debt to about 6 per cent of the state economy. Without such borrowing, the Victorian Treasury estimates debt would peak at 4.7 per cent of state domestic product. The money is not going to come from the federal government, which is facing budget difficulties and will have an estimated net debt of 18.5 per cent of gross domestic product, a measure of the economy, in 2017-18. There is much to get on with – including the Metro Rail project, worth $11 billion, the removal of 50 level crossings, upgrading the Monash Freeway and completing the Metropolitan Ring Road from Greensborough to the Eastern Freeway and EastLink. Mr Pallas, with the backing of Premier Daniel Andrews, has rightly and repeatedly called for a considered community conversation. We are seeking to contribute to that, and believe there are compelling, rational economic arguments for using public borrowing to fund investment upon which the future of Victoria's growing population depends.
