Federal government cuts

Readers' forum letters

Your front page story November 23 revealed the news that the Federal Government had abandoned plans for an improved carpark at Woy Woy Station and a rail upgrade between Tuggerah and Wyong.

Apparently they lack “national strategic rationale“ – whatever that means.

$500M for a NRL team from Papua New Guinea apparently doesn’t lack the strategic rationale.

Our local Federal Member agrees with the decision to cut these projects.

Of course politicians do not travel on trains nor do they search for station parking spots.
