Labor's cableway con

 

Labor’s pledge to ‘recommit’ to funding for the Cradle Mountain cableway is another empty promise.

Let’s be clear: the only reason the project isn’t underway is the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw its funding.

There’s already $30m sitting in our budget.

What we need is the Labor Federal Government to reinstate the cash it pulled from the project.

If Ms White is serious about getting the project off the ground she should pick up the phone to the Prime Minister and tell him to reinstate the funding.

A promise to simply recommit to money that’s already in the budget is selling the North West short.
