One main thing I hope they ensure gets on the agenda is connecting Western Sydney Airport at both ends, rather than just north to St Marys, but connecting to Leppington, and eventually to Campbelltown.

That would virtually create a rail link from Campbelltown to Penrith, bound to happen eventually.
One from Liverpool to the new WSI airport would be good too.
As mentioned on The Cheap Seats tonight.
