Whilst there are apparently some questions over how the SLR was conceived (if you can believe The Age), I think you are on the money there, Tony. I suspect a lot of road traffic is radial rather than competing with the existing rail/metro lines.
It's a pity that the Sydney Metro wasn't used for that purpose, although I understand the existing heavy rail was reaching capacity. I suspect, however, that the cost will hamstring any future development of a radial network, although the new airport link works in that way to some extent.
