INFRASTRUCTURE has been the buzz word on policy makers’ lips for the past couple of years.
Ministers and bureaucrats alike talk up the need for more dams, roads, hospitals, schools and everything else required to accommodate Queensland’s exploding population.
And it’s this seemingly recent revelation to plan for the future that is the core of the conundrum in which Queensland now finds itself. To its credit, the Beattie Government has addressed the problem. Its unveiling in early 2005 of a grand 20-year, $66 billion infrastructure dream was well received.
