Mum Govt won’t determined to restore beat cancer rail services Ken Sapwell
An internal document analysing submissions to the Cross Border Transport Taskforce re- veals the NSW government has no intention of restoring rail services to the Tweed, says Greens MP Lee Rhiannon. Ms Rhiannon, who is the party’s transport spokesman, said a copy of the taskforce’s final report was leaked to her after the government again refused to release it publicly. ‘The analysis in this leaked document sug- gests the government has been sitting on the report because it knows that its findings would be extremely unpopular with voters who want rail services restored,’ Ms Rhiannon said. ‘It shows the taskforce’s complete disregard for the community’s desire for the revitalisation of rail services in the region by clearly favouring bus services as the silver bullet for the region’s transport problems.

Parents pitch in
Having good parents is always a great start to life – particularly when they are handy with a hammer and nail, as children at Burringbar’s Gumnuts Community Preschool learned recently. Parents and grandparents were enlisted as labourers to finish off an extension to the building by Work for the Dole participants. Built 25 years ago, the preschool has been funded for a new entrance foyer and parents’ room that will allow it to attract a baby nurse regularly. Gumnuts supervisor Joan Bridgeham said some of the original families who helped set up the preschool even came back to lend a hand. The preschool caters for about 20 youngsters of all ages.

1. Billy Bob Thornton stars in The Man Who Wasn’t There (Prime, Friday midnight). Pity that its lustrous black and white photography relegates it to a late spot where only discerning insomniacs can be trusted not to bang their television sets because the colour’s missing. It’s actually a fascinating thriller by the Coen brothers in full flight. 2. David Bloomberg and Uma Turman share a moment in the undemanding comedy Prime (NBN, Saturday 9.30pm). Their characters are aged 23 and 37 respec- tively, and he’s the son of her psychiatrist. Electra complex anxieties ensue. 3. Old British actors don’t get any better than Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent, and they effortlessly sustain 1 2 3 the bioflic Iris (Prime, Tuesday midday).
