- Liberal MP Garth Hamilton is proposing a cost-saving $9 billion alternative option towards the inland rail line connecting Acacia Ridge with urban rail lines, avoiding the expensive work needed to get the trains down the range.
“One of the most important parts of inland rail is that we have an open-access terminal at either end … what that means is anyone can use it, no one service can dominate the other,” Mr Hamilton told Sky News Australia host Amanda Stoker.
“This is a perfect opportunity for us to use what’s in front of us and make this great project work.”
If it's useful politicians will vote against it
But what will the voice say???
....Australia needs a Major National Home Construction Scheme to supply roofs over citizens heads as a number one policy priority.
Why bother the traitors in government would just use them for more immigrants
@@ricky6864 get your drift....construction provision be secured for purpose. Unfortunately this once great country is turning into sh#t show...irrelivant whose in power.
The voice also means the land will be owned by the indigenous/state.
You will just be renting your land.
Ummm what lol. You're confusing the Voice and Native Title.
Australian terrain is actually pretty favorable to trains as past the ranges inland is relatively flat … fking get it done!!!
Hence the point of inland Rail....nice and flat Terrain
Tunneling from the port to Acacia ridge would be extremely hard, considering the port is an artificial island sitting in swamp land no more then a few meters above sea level.
The Port portal could exit before the Port and join the Fishermans Island Line.
I thought Toowoomba was an alright idea. Upgrade the terminals and the Warrego highway, and you got yourself another super hub.
So double stacked carriages on separated train tracks is 'not a solution' but having the equivalent height trucks sharing the roads with private cars is??
The whole thing needs to be cancelled. Too expensive. And Toowoomba would be a stupid place to terminate.
Thanks to my fellow liberal's for not asking what the people of Australia want but imagine if my fellow liberal's did exactly that you would go a long way and our country wouldn't be down hill with no brakes
Garth seems to think that trains won't be able to stop between Melbourne and Sydney, this is incorrect the are places where the trains will stop.
Going from toowoomba wouldnt be a bad idea. you would have to upgrade warrigo highway though
Energy cost is driving the over budget increase.
9 billion a year in royalties on top of the 32 billion, and some paid to these cheer zombies.
Garth have you ever been to the Vault can you recommend it?
The Queenslanlers ars worried the cows will stop giving milk because of the trains noise.
Well explain what happens when the trains need to cross to qld when qld uses different railway gauge ?
Eplain the qld nsw border before this step
That's not relevant for this.
You can save even more by not bothering.
That's been the traditional approach thus far. I'm pretty sure this project kicked off in the late 80s
Yeah cos that’ll help our economy grow
Rather then
rent assistance
how about
rent offset payments
cause rent assistance sends signals to landlords to increase rents
but
rent offsets
can be paid any which way you can think of and be taxable.
We must reject the voice. It's an offer to contract with a corporate grubberment
He is right- Toowoomba would make a great hub ,but you would need to make another road up the range- the current one is too steep and busy. The coal trains go all the time from Ipswich, past the PA and off to the port and the freight trains the other way. What Garth says makes sense, but tying to get Annastacia to see past her big nose... we can but hope!
Sorry- he mentioned the second pass- I haven't been up there for a few years.
It needs to go into Brisbane. The products originate or are bound for Brisbane, some products are transferring to narrow gauge trains for places like Townsville etc.
Sky News actors need to go back to acting school
