Porsche lets fly at NT Government's 'nanny state' approach to open speed limits (doesn't have to take responsibility for medical costs though, does it?)

Welp... no more reason to visit NT.

Funny how fatalities were extremely rare when it was derestricted, then suddenly shot up when limits were reinstated around 2007. This is all for revenue and feeling "good" like you've accomplished something.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)

Luxury car brand Porsche has accused the Northern Territory Government of running a "Nanny state" for removing controversial open speed limits on some stretches of road. The NT, along parts of the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek, has been the only part of Australia where drivers can travel as fast as they want.

"We've done a pretty good job of killing off the local car industry, the manufacturing of local cars in Australia, and now it seems the Northern Territory Government's doing its best to deter international car companies from coming to Australia to spend money and invest in the local economy," Porsche's director of public relations Paul Ellis said.

The Country Liberals promised to expand open speed limits if they were voted back in, but Labor pledged to scrap them altogether.
