    I wonder what would those numbers look like if we went back 10 years. Also most of that expenditure is on westconnex and the airport and not on trains. Much is still being spent on roads such as the major highway upgrades.

    But looking at those numbers a Victorian should be upset at Queensland's share and not NSW. It is clear they are getting a significant amount more then there population of infrastructure money and are still crying poor over cross river rail.

    Those charts in that document are also horribly misleading They have an amount in millions and yet the bar doesn't match up with what is being claimed.
