Newcastle Herald: Hunter Labor MPs take aim at new Newcastle and Lake Macquarie bus timetable in NSW Parliament
Labor is keeping pressure on the NSW government over Newcastle and Lake Macquarie’s new bus timetable, with Hunter MPs repeatedly raising the issue in parliament in the past week.
In a private member’s statement late Wednesday afternoon, Swansea MP Yasmin Catley said there had been skepticism over the government’s decision to privatise transport in the Hunter but “sadly our deepest fears have been realised”.
She read aloud an email from a constituent, who claimed to have been a Liberal supporter since 1959 and who was threatening to “work against the Liberal Party” if the former timetable was not restored.
