The vision of the inland railway is now a tragedy

By Everald Compton - posted Tuesday, 26 May 2020

On several occasions in recent years, after receiving many tragic phone calls from good rural citizens, I offered my services to the Federal Government to be appointed to negotiate with landowners between Melbourne and Toowoomba in the same manner as I did in the Surat Basin.

My offers have been ignored without an answer.

So, ARTC continues to destroy the lives of people in their pathway and Inland Australia suffers from unfulfilled prosperity.

The trauma has been utterly unnecessary.
