Alistair Coe finds more cold water to pour on light rail

Bordeaux light rail

THE Liberals’ Alistair Coe has seized on a report by the Centre for International Economics which expresses concerns about the costs of building the promised Capital Metro network.

The Capital Metro has not been placed on the Infrastructure Australia “National Priority List”; it may not present good value for money.

The delivery of transport infrastructure projects is often subject to potentially large risks that may jeopardise delivery and acceptability of these projects, which can add substantially to project costs.

“The project does not stack up and the government continues to squander taxpayers’ money despite many experts advising against the project,” Alistair says.
