What concerns me the most is a new strategy document put out by the department that suggested there would be a rail-line extension into the southern—underscore 'southern'—Sunshine Coast, not all the way to the Maroochydore CBD, and a high-frequency public transport connection between Maroochydore and Birtinya.

If indeed Labor has a plan not to deliver rail all the way through the Maroochydore CBD, it has an opportunity this Friday at the infrastructure summit on the Sunshine Coast to come clean, be honest, be transparent and tell the Sunshine Coast community what its actual plan is. The clock is ticking to 2032. Own up.
