I found that ABC article very obscure. This article covers the topic much more clearly.

It's Federal Government funding that's being cut and the Gold Coast light rail is being removed from the Federal government's infrastructure priority list. The GCLR rollout has relied heavily on Federal funding. The same cutbacks are happening in other states too. Tom Tate hasn't become a bus advocate. He's suggesting an interim solution if the next stage of the light rail can't proceed.

It appears that Stage 4 of Gold Coast Light Rail is under review - twice simultaneously.
The current review by the Transport Department is going to be joined (duplicated?) by one by the Infrastructure Department. Presumably the minister wasn't certain that the first one was going to tell him what he wanted to hear...
Am curious why the Mayor of the Gold Coast has gone from being strongly in favour of light rail to being a bus advocate.
