FUNDING DEBATE OVER HEAVY RAIL LINE REMOVAL

The state government needs to make a decision before the federal government will discuss a funding commitment.

That’s Greg Combet’s response to calls by the Premier to help pay for an overhaul of Newcastle’s heavy-rail line.

Mr Combet and Sharon Grierson today said that until Kristina Keneally makes her position clear, there’s no use talking about the Rudd government contributing to the cost.

Mr Combet added that he supports the cutting of the heavy-rail line to stimulate investment in the city.
