Parliamentary Inquiry Into Public Transport Infrastructure Pricing in NSW

This post from the WSPTU Facebook group:

This inquiry is the biggest victory that was won out of the state election by community groups. We need to make the most of it as there is something rotten in the state of NSW - and changes of govt won't fix that- only public scrutiny and action will fix it.

One of the most significant factors preventing adequate public transport investment in Sydney is the inflated costs of rail projects. There are two basic aspects to this: on the one hand there's the mega-crazy Treasury overestimates designed to kill off rail projects and then there's the gold-plated project factor.

PLEASE MAKE AN EVIDENCE-BASED SUBMISSION BY WEDNESDAY. It only has to be short.
