As reported, NSW Premier Chris Minns commented that "We will look at transport infrastructure for one of the fastest growing communities in the country and have more to say as we get closer to the election" ("Nationals get on board Cessnock train project", Herald, 15/6).
The NSW state election is some 12 months away yet we cannot get a commitment now from the premier to refurbish an already existing rail loop costing an estimated $200 million. Why wait until the next election? However, he has committed $380 million for another renewable project.
