FED:No NW rail link for NSW, Albanese
Federal Labor is sticking to its guns about which New South Wales rail links will go
ahead despite pressure from the state's new premier.
Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD promised to prioritise the $2.1 billion Epping-to-Parramatta
rail link at last year's federal election .. but the new Premier BARRY O'FARRELL wants
the project deferred and instead wants funds to go to the north-west rail link.
Federal Transport Minister ANTHONY ALBANESE says the commonwealth can not set infrastructure
outcomes on the back of every state government's campaign promises .. adding the Gillard
government is committed to the Parramatta-Epping rail project.
