Opposition leader Bill Shorten has committed to investing $112 million towards the third stage of the Gold Coast’s light rail project, in an attempt to win over voters in south-east Queensland.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has already committed funding towards the project if he is re-elected in May, and Bill Shorten has now matched that promise from Labor.
This comes after Shorten has already pledged to spend $2 billion on Brisbane’s Cross-River Rail Project.
