"If we don't make a start to projects like the northwest rail link, I don't intend to contest the election after," Mr O'Farrell said.
"I am determined to deliver the infrastructure, to get on with starting those projects that this city and this state needs. I want to be seen as the infrastructure premier, because that's certainly what we need in this state after 16 years of Labor."

I don't understand Barry. It was you who 12 months previous called for the scrapping of the northwest rail link, and yet here we are asking for it to be built again? Perhaps you need a reminder of what you said...
"She needs to scrap the metro that no one wants. It's simply incredible, even within her first day, the former planning minister doesn't seem to have a view as to whether this metro is to proceed or not. It raises real concerns about who's making the decisions."
- Barry O'Farrell, 4th Dec 2009 (from ABC Radio).
Considering that the railway line to Castle Hill promised by the Dibbs government in 1891 still hasn’t been built, don’t hold your breath waiting for Mr O'Farrell to start "those projects that this city and this state needs". Also considering previous NSW Liberal's track record (pun intended) in selling off the State Bank of New South Wales, GIO and NSW Grain Corporation, how long would it be after building the northwest rail link, it would be sold off as well?
Well Mr O'Farrell, what say ye now?
