My question is to the Prime Minister. The Lithgow locomotive workshop is a critical piece of railway infrastructure. The site is needed to expand and secure existing freight rail businesses and new ventures such as battery electric train manufacturing, yet it seems that Pacific National wants to sell it to a property developer. The community wants the site saved, and I note that the recent NSW Country Labor Conference unanimously called on the state and federal governments to begin discussions to buy the site and support local workers and businesses. Will your government do this?
