They do mention that. The article also mentions the floods that cut those tracks off, was it last year?
And it was quicker putting roads back in after the floods?
There are companies constantly doing road repairs in regional WA, I knew a girl a while back who did it. I don't know if thats the same for rail seeing as how theres less of it to maintain.
Maybe if the roads get repaired quicker its simply, the supply lines and workers are already set up to deal with the roads.
I don't see why having a sea transport route as well as road and rail and air isn't a good idea. And by the amount proposed to be carried, it could make more sense to go by sea. Of course if our national merchant fleet was a more accessible market than it seems.
Plus the floods were 3 years ago. And they still haven't repaired it.
