Australia:  2010 Federal Election, a real opportunity to move forward

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport commuters has said the 2010 Federal Election will be determined on future sustainable transport policies.

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"This election is an opportunity to truly 'move forward' with sustainable transport for future environmental, economic and social benefits.

"Already the populist road centric 'non core promises' are being rolled out (1).  Australians are tired of failed paradigms.

"Infrastructure investment in real sustainable transport for long term gains is needed. The Cross River Rail project in south-east Queensland is a major priority.  Queenslanders will no doubt be cognisant of commitments to this project on the 21st August.

"Australians generally will be acutely attuned to rail, public and active transport policies of all parties.

"Now is the hour!"
