    AUSTRALIA’S interstate rail track infrastructure is in "dire circumstances" and unless the Commonwealth invests an additional $750 million in the track over the next three years -- plus another $2 billion to 2010 -- the system will decline to an irretrievable level, according the Parliamentary Role of Rail inquiry.
    The chairman of the Standing Committee on Communications, Transport and Microeconomic Reform, Paul Neville, said that after hearing 147 witnesses and receiving 175 submissions, the committee believed it had made 16 hard-hitting but realistic recommendations designed to ensure that the national track would support a level of service between Brisbane and Perth equal to world best practice standards.

  • Geraldton hearing postponed
    THE MARITIME Union of Australia will meet Western Australia’s new Transport Minister Murray Criddle to seek his support in opposing moves to introduce workplace agreements for Geraldton Port Authority (GPA) workers.

    Mr Buck said Tuesday’s postponement of a directions hearing in the Federal Court over the Geraldton issue would give the union an opportunity to talk to the new minister about the benefits of the IPLF arrangement at Geraldton.
