Queensland Labor has this week come under fire from the Opposition over the $2.1 Million in public funding allocated to creating advertising content and publicity for the Brisbane Cross River Rail transport project.
LNP Leader Deb Frecklington criticized the Palaszczuk gov. for spending more time and effort delivering spin and PR for Cross River rail than they are on delivering the project. Furthermore, Ms Frecklington attacked the progress of Cross River Rail claiming that it is "off-track, behind schedule and over budget".
In response, Cross River Rail Minister Kate Jones highlighted the importance of keeping Queenslanders informed of the projects progression as well as the benefits and impacts of the $5.4 billion-dollar transport development. Ms Jones also disputed Ms Frecklingtons’ criticism saying that the project remained on budget and on course for completion in 2024.
