The federal opposition has issued a media release questioning statements by Minister Paul Fletcher on the topic of NBN staff bonuses.
A media release from Michelle Rowland MP (pictured), Shadow Minister for Communications, and Senator Kimberley Kitching, Shadow Minister for Government Services and the NDIS, in full follows: If making things up about the NBN and being caught out was an Olympic sport, Minister Fletcher would be deserving of a gold medal.
During a press conference on 18 February the Minister claimed that “a substantial proportion of those [$78 million in NBN] bonuses were paid to front-line staff”.
Rocky road to more station car parking
SOLUTIONS are still being sought for more commuter car parking along the Frankston train line, despite the federal government abandoning plans at Seaford and Kananook stations.
An Auditor-General report released earlier this month savaged the federal government’s urban congestion fund program. The fund was used by the Liberal government in the leadup to the 2019 election to promise parking expansions at Seaford and Kananook stations, but both projects were ultimately scrapped.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said he remains hopeful that a solution can be reached that would see more parking built along the line.
