Mark Coure
Shadow Minister for Roads
The Minns Labor Government must come clean on the future of the M6 motorway after revelations consideration has been given to abandoning the project altogether.
The discussion around a scoping study for abandoning the project follows two years of delays and secrecy since tunnelling was first halted.
Shadow Roads Minister Mark Coure said the community deserves to know the truth.
“The Minns Labor Government must stop the secrecy, stop the spin and tell people the truth,” Mr Coure said.
“Is this project being abandoned or is there a solution that will get construction started again?”
The Minister’s claim she doesn’t want to hand over a blank cheque to the contractor is getting old for those drivers sitting in traffic in Sydney’s South.
"The Minister talks about not writing blank cheques while handing out blank timelines,” Mr Coure said.
"240 metres, that's all that stands between Southern Sydney and a finished motorway. Labor needs to get it done."
Mr Coure said the delay to the M6 and metro projects raises serious questions about Labor’s ability to deliver projects, let alone plan them.
“Labor is good at cutting ribbons on Liberal and National projects, but when it comes to delivery, they struggle to get it done.”
“The Minns Labor Government has no long-term vision when it comes to the infrastructure that will shape our cities and ensure growing communities are liveable.”
