IS IT just me, or is anyone else disappointed in the member for Bundaberg’s close-minded, negative attitude towards our plan for a ‘Very Fast Train’ network linking the Wide Bay to the rest of the south-east?
Just because her Labor Party doesn’t have the foresight or capability to plan for the future and ensure these revolutionary projects become a reality, doesn’t mean she should rubbish the proposal.
The Very Fast Train would open up incredible opportunities and significantly boost the region’s economy.
It will create employment opportunities, tourism opportunities and, importantly, people who rely on the health services of the south-east corner will be able to reach the state’s capital city in just two hours.
What I find absurd is that the member for Bundaberg is more than happy to look after the south-east corner of Queensland by supporting the $15 billion Cross River Rail project, rather than look after her own backyard.
The member for Bundaberg should stop championing the $15 billion Cross River Rail project for her mates in South-east and start thinking about the people she was elected to represent.
