Queensland Infrastructure Plan by December 2014

"Over the next six months we'll be releasing the Queensland State Infrastructure Plan, the Priority Development Infrastructure Co-Investment Program will commence and we'll improve frameworks to make project evaluation and delivery more efficient." -- Campbell Newman

Is it just me...or do I smell an election in the air...?

Before the last election, there was to be a transport infrastructure plan (overseen by Mr Seeney, if I recall) that didn't eventuate.  Let's not forget the Premier's promise to review the fare structure.

A couple of elections ago, LNP members north of Brisbane were promising a 'Sunshine Coast Integrated Transport Plan' that went nowhere.  Pffft!

The lesson from the days of Anna Bligh and her SEQ Transport Plan is that any plan is not worth the paper it is written on unless there is an index at the back, behind the fine words and fantastic photography, that lists the prices for each project and where the money is coming from.  It was as useless as a Myer or Woolies shopper catalogue without the prices shown.

Some can recall the slogan 'a world-class transport system.'  Like magpies swooping during breeding season, pollies go all strange at election time.  The Queensland electorate is cynical enough, and bruised enough, to want some straight-talking, minus the gloss and the spin.  What are our chances of getting it?

Maybe Alex Douglas and PUP could catch on and play it smart with some common sense solutions?
