Suburban Rail Loop
Voting yes supported a motion noting the IMF's advice on managing infrastructure pipelines, the federal Treasurer's call for better project coordination, and expert views on pausing the Suburban Rail Loop, which agrees with the motion's stated points.
The question put
That this house notes: (1) the International Monetary Fund’s advice for governments to appropriately manage their infrastructure pipelines to avoid interest rates rising further; (2) the comments of the federal Labor Treasurer urging state governments to better coordinate major projects; (3) the expert advice of economists and urban planners identifying the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) as the most appropriate project to be paused –
