Infrastructure investment on the chopping block

The Opposition is calling on the Labor Government to rule out cuts to the state’s infrastructure pipeline, saying the Government’s priorities mean that there will be less jobs, more congestion and longer commutes for the people of NSW.

The Liberal and Nationals Government left a $116.6 billion infrastructure pipeline that would provide the vital roads, rail, metro, schools and hospitals needed for NSW.

Following comments in Parliament by the Treasurer it is clear the Labor Government is shifting blame for its broken promises, wrong priorities and public sector union wage deal cost blowout.

Shadow Minister for Infrastructure Natalie Ward said the new Government’s priorities are clear – to cut investment in the future.

“Government priorities have a cost, and the cost of Labor’s economic management is cuts to infrastructure spending.”

“Infrastructure projects are not just line items in the budget, they are jobs and livelihoods and an investment in the future.”

“Every cancelled or delayed project means more congestion, lower jobs and slower commutes for the people of NSW.”

“The Minns Government said it would focus on local roads, instead all they are doing is short-changing local communities.”
