North West. 'Pure nonsense'

The headline of an editorial in The Australian Financial Review (December 15) said: “O’Farrell should rethink rail plan.” The paper went on to say: “NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell’s claim that his government’s planned $8.5 billion North West Rail Link is as important to Sydney as the Harbour Bridge is pure nonsense. The project is an expensive misdirection of taxpayers” money that was proposed by the Coalition only to win seats in the area from Labor ant the last state election.”
