MEDIA RELEASE: Friday 2 September 2011

Morale at Infrastructure NSW continues to plummet as the O'Farrell Government runs roughshod over its advice and dictates transport priorities as it alone sees fit, Shadow Minister for Transport Penny Sharpe said today.

Infrastructure NSW officials are angry they have been left with no choice but to back the North West Rail Link – even if they believe projects such as the M4 East are more important.

"It's another week, another unhappy leak at Infrastructure NSW. Barry O'Farrell is treating them with contempt," Ms Sharpe said today.

"The relationship between Infrastructure NSW and the O'Farrell Government is a bureaucratic train wreck – and getting more dysfunctional with time.
