Regions big winners in $1 6b road-rail spending spree

  Regional Queenslanders are set to get home faster and safer under a whopping $1.6 billion budget roads and rail bonanza from the Coast to Cairns, while Brisbane has missed out on the spending spree. The record spend exceeds last year s $1.3 billion pandemic cash splash and is being spruiked as major employment booster, with 2800 jobs on the line. There will be cash for the Bruce Highway in central Queensland, light and heavy rail on the Gold Coast, major highways in Cairns and Townsville as well as intersection and rail upgrades at the Sunshine Coast. No new money is going towards the M1 through Logan and Brisbane this year, after some upgrades and pledges towards a second M1 in last year s budget.
