The following can be attributed to a spokesperson from the Deputy Premier’s office:

“The media report on Channel 9 News tonight regarding the light rail extension on the Gold Coast being imminent is factually incorrect. This project is yet to be finalised, approved or funded but as stated previously, we have provided in-principle support for the light-rail extension and are continuing to lobby the Local and Federal Governments for funding to enable the project to proceed.”
