NSW Labor Leader Chris Minns uses his budget reply speech to accuse the state government of being all 'spin', and pitching several policies ahead of the March election.

Labor said it would keep that rebate scheme and add a further $130 million by using the government revenue earned from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Tunnel tolls.Mr Minns has also ruled out privatising both pieces of infrastructure, as the government will have to make a decision about the tunnel because the contract expires in August after three years of tolling since it opened.

"A NSW Labor government will keep Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel in government hands." A Labor government would also abolish the controversial Transport Asset Holding Entity, which was set up to run the state's rail profits and under legislation has to turn a profit."Where rail operators owned the assets they operated.""It wasn't a small target strategy, it was a small minded strategy," Mr Kean said.

NSW Labor promises Sydney Harbour Bridge, tunnel revenue for driversTens of millions of dollars generated from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and tunnel would be diverted to tolling relief for drivers under a NSW Labor government. Rabe9 Urban freeways are expensive. Using private investors to fund roads adds to cost, with a much higher cost of funds than public funding.
