All-aboard the region’s new $1.1M rail
Trains will return to the Mid-Western region with the State Government announcing $1.
Highly likely to make the locals happy but is the track now useable all the way to Sydney ?Same level of usable since it was built over 150 years ago,pretty thick comment you have made.

I feel that this is pork barreling by the State Government, although the Nationals hold the State seat with a fair majority, remember that the adjacent seat of Calare fell to the SFFP after being a safe Nationals seat for many years, a swing of almost 30% I believe. There were 2 other by-elections in the bush in the last month, the Nationals retained both seats but suffered significant swings.Thy shall believith it when thou shalt seeith it!Well you best open your eyes then as track rehabilitation has already commenced.
Vital seat for the government I guess?!
You could hardly call $1.1M pork barreling. Maybe they came up with a bit of money to assist Rail Heritage and there is nothing else to it. The State Government is not short of the readies at the moment.I feel that this is pork barreling by the State Government, although the Nationals hold the State seat with a fair majority, remember that the adjacent seat of Calare fell to the SFFP after being a safe Nationals seat for many years, a swing of almost 30% I believe.

This is the Nats suddenly realizing that their years of failing to support their constituents is about to bite them. For too long they have been seen as "Liberal lite".
Where is the business case to justify this expenditure? Do we really think that a few rail motors will generate sufficient access fees to keep the line maintained?
