Didn't the Rail Clearways Program (including the Macdonaldtown, Homebush,
Lidcombe, Liverpool and Macarthur turnbacks, Revesby quadruplication,
Schofields and Cronulla duplications), the Millenium and Waratah fleets,
Olympic Park, and the Dulwich Hill LR all originate before 2011?

Population policy is in the hands of the Federal government. If there's a
policy of growth, then the states have no choice but to plan for it and
build the infrastructure and services for it, hopefully with some
assistance from the Feds, but otherwise go it alone like NSW has. There are
two ways to go on that. Either you can plow ahead at full speed like the
present NSW government has in the last 11 years, or you can make a lot of
announcements then do nothing, like the previous Labor government did for
16 years, creating a gigantic backlog.
