新州政府取消时刻表调整，承诺投入68亿澳元推进铁路电气化，预计2030年代中后期完成
新南威尔士州政府已承诺投入68亿澳元，将基亚马至博马德里之间的南海岸铁路线电气化，并在关键瓶颈路段将铁轨增至双线。工程预计将于2030年代中后期完工，详细规划工作将于2027年启动。此次宣布紧随政府取消原定于11月生效的时刻表调整之后，此前社区对此表达了担忧。州长克里斯·明斯表示，此次升级将带来更快、更可靠的列车服务。在主体工程开工前，将立即拨款6.21亿澳元，用于升级供电、信号系统及防洪设施。

新南威尔士州政府承诺，使用“排除选举信托”安排的企业不会因查默斯提议的30%最低信托税而面临州级税收。新州财政部长Daniel Mookhey表示，他与联邦财长合作，尽早为企业提供确定性。Business NSW（新州商业协会）欢迎这一举措，但表示企业主不应为印花税账单而担忧。Mookhey还承诺削减州政府开支以应对通胀，并在3月州选举前将州债务减少100多亿澳元。
State vows duty shield against controversial trust tax
