The closure of rail services in regional Queensland is just another sad indictment on the state of our nation. While countries in Asia are building high speed rail and nuclear power plants, our governments can’t even keep existing services going with aging rolling stock. There’s money for the Olympics of course, but nothing for the regions that generate our wealth. The closure of the Westlander is particularly harsh because as the Chareville mayor quite rightly points out, regional towns like Chinchilla, Chareville and Cunnamulla were built on the back of rail. It’s not like the government has put money into roads either, with the Bruce and Warrego highways being virtual death traps. This debacle can be traced back to the privatisation of the Queensland rail coal trains back in the early 2000’s under the Bligh government. (Fun fact - Murray Watt was her chief of staff.) These coal trains generated income that was used to fund passenger services. The solution for this is to start funding the construction of infrastructure such as rail to generate income to pay for essential services. is advocating for an Infrastructure bank to fund this construction through domestic bonds rather than foreign debt. We are also advocating to start a military apprenticeship scheme to ensure that our children have the skills to build infrastructure rather than rely on foreign contractors that is being used for Snowy 2. It’s not rocket science - If we want to get our country back on track we have to get back on the tools and start building. No ifs, no buts.
