Transport Minister Andrew Constance has told his own secretary to “get on with it” after he expressed concerns about the Sydney Speedway replacement track. 

Despite the Minister promising Ray Hadley a new racing track will be built before the Sydney Speedway closes in 2021, his own secretary Rodd Staples told a government hearing it may not happen within the two-year time frame.

Now, Mr Constance has been forced to publicly tell his secretary to stop the bureaucratic waffle and finish the job.

“Get on with it champ! I don’t want to publicly denigrate a good secretary but he’s just got to get on with this.

“The bureaucracy is in no uncertain terms getting the message: build it!”

Ray was shocked, to say the least, to hear a minister deliver such public criticism.

Ray Hadley: “I’ve never been so stunned in all my life! You sound a bit cranky there Minister Constance.”

Andrew Constance: “Bloody oath… it was bureaucratic waffle. Two years to build a speedway? For goodness’ sake!”
