Why does Queensland always get left out in terms of Transport funding?

[Electro_Sykes]

I know transport is a state responsibility but if you look at the federal government funds, we arent getting our fair share. Most federal funding is pouring into other states including Sydneys new metro and Airport, Perths Metronet program and the gov is clearly happy to give the victorians even more for their suburban rail loop east. Yet why has Queensland always had to fight and stand our ground to the federal government for funding. crucial projects like Sunshine Coast Rail, or Bruce Highway safety program etc dont get enough attention. And even worse, North Queensland gets virtually nothing in terms of infrastructure. Does this have to do with uncertainty regarding developments up here or is it simply because council/state gov are the blue team and the federal gov are the red team?.
