Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport and Local Government) Share this | Hansard source

My question is addressed to the Treasurer. I refer to the government’s proposal—referred to again a few minutes ago by the Prime Minister—to reduce inflation by overcoming infrastructure bottlenecks. Can the Treasurer explain why $65 million in funding to maintain and upgrade working rail lines, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria, to reduce bottlenecks has been delayed for two years under the recently announced Rudd government’s spending cuts?
