One would think that any potential buyer of Mascot would want some
assurances that the Govt isnt going to introduce an alternative form
of transport as in a 2nd airport or even a hi speed train which would
reduce passengers thru the Airport.
Whats the bet that after mascot is sold , the whole VFT idea will be
resurrected with even more nauseous feasability studies , EIS studies 
which will take another 20 years of delay after which it will be
scrapped again.
The govt motto of the days seems to be when in doubt ,DO NOTHING.
Seems to work though.

Exactly what is the oppositions policy on VFTs. AP to darwin , Hi
speed freight from Melb to Brisbane etc.
You dont seem to hear vary much at all from the opposition Transport
minister.
Who is the opposition transport minister?
