Rail freight and public transport (QWN 1219)

Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the minister’s multiple media release of 24 November this year announcing a total of $5.4 million on road upgrades.
(1) Noting that parking bays at train stations are already budgeted for, will the minister be announcing equivalent new expenditure on —
(a) rail freight; or
(b) public transport?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
Hon PETER COLLIER replied:
On behalf of the Minister for Transport, I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)-(2) An announcement about new projects for rail freight, public transport or any other transport matter will be made at the appropriate time.
