The New South Wales Government's Draft Hunter Strategic Regional Integrated Transport Plan has a section on Net Zero and how low and zero emissions transport factors into it.
Across the three pages of the Net Zero section, there is zero mention of expanding railway electrification, despite this being an established and economical method of reducing transport emissions. There is a brief mention of "investigating the use of net zero electricity to power the rail network".
Instead, the report talks about battery-electric car charging stations, hydrogen and how they recently "reduced the construction emissions" of a motorway expansion project by using different light bulbs.
What a joke. If you live in New South Wales and live/work/visit the Hunter region, I strongly suggest that you tell them to pull their heads in:
