Good logistics are a foundation for economic productivity and efficiency. This is why One Nation loves rail networks, because they're the most efficient and cost-effective way to move goods and commodities on land. The Inland Rail project was supposed to deliver a fast rail link between the ports of Melbourne and Brisbane.
The concept was to have freight trains with double-stacked containers make the journey in 24 hours. One Nation supports the project in principle, although with major bottlenecks at the Brisbane end of the line we have advocated for the line to be extended to a more suitable port at Gladstone, about 550km north of the Queensland capital. From there, our vision is to connect it to the proposed Capricorn Steel project which involves connecting - by rail - the coal-rich Bowen Basin in Queensland with Western Australia's Pilbara region with all of its huge iron ore deposits.
This project would revive our domestic steel industry and help open up the relatively under-developed northern part of Australia. It would also potentially be the basis for a national rail circuit right around the Australian continent. But this week we've learned that Labor is effectively dumping the project by terminating the line from Melbourne at Parkes in New South Wales, about 650km south of the Queensland border at Goondiwindi.
It turns out that Inland Rail isn't coming to Queensland at all, even though billions of taxpayer dollars have already been spent preparing the way. With productivity already in the toilet under Labor, this cancellation of a true nation-building project is a real kick in the teeth for Australia's future economic productivity and prosperity.
