Federal Transport Minister Catherine King has missed a golden opportunity.

Her team have just shared her speech to the Australasian Railway Association this morning.

Now, I’m hoping she adlibbed a bit her because I couldn’t find a single train pun. Not one.

No “tunnel vision” or “staying on the tracks”, no “tooting our own horn” or “sticking to the timetable”. Nothing.

If you can’t sleep tonight, have a go at this: https://minister.infrastructure.gov.au/c-king/speech/address-australasian-railway-association
