Ms CAMPBELL (Moreton) (13:37): If you've ever sat in your car at the Coopers Plains crossing on Boundary Road, you would know that it can feel like an absolute eternity. It's been consistently named by the RACQ as one of the worst crossings in our entire state. Locals in my community have been waiting decades for the promised overpass to that rail level crossing.
That's why I fought hard to make sure that the Albanese Labor government invested an additional $99.7 million to make this long-awaited important project a reality. That's on top of the $179.5 million that the federal Labor government had already invested. But if you'd cracked open the LNP's budget last Tuesday, what you would have found as you sorted through the papers is that there was no commitment and no timeline to this important project being delivered, despite the state previously having committed $179.5 million to the project as well.
I've written to the Premier to ask him a few questions: Has their position changed? What's happened to the money? What is the timeline?
People in my community deserve to get home to their families faster and more safely, and people in my community deserve to know the answer to these questions.
