My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, it has been 100 years since rail arrived in the towns of Gloucester and Taree. At the time, they were very vital pieces of infrastructure, made possible by the government of the day spending more than one million pounds to deliver just over 100 kilometres of track. With this history in mind, can the Prime Minister outline the next steps for improved rail freight and very fast passenger travel between Sydney and Brisbane and how rail can play an even more important role in building a better Australia for the next century?
