Freight Project Cost Increases By $45 Billion

2GB Sydney Sydney 15d7d Impact 6

An energy analyst reports that a project's cost, excluding interest during construction and factory segments, reaches $42 billion in public money. This figure includes transmission connections and the share of Snowy Link North and South. The analyst suggests the numbers do not sit well with the Albanese government. The cost for a energy project in Australia has surpassed $42 billion. Infrastructure Minister Catherine King stated the government is realigning the project to build a safe and efficient network. Funding for the inland rail will end at parks in New South Wales. The Shadow Treasurer dismissed claims by Jim Chalmers regarding public spending in relation to interest rate decisions. Freight operators are recommending investment in the existing network to connect inland rail to parks. The project has been described as a mess since the current administration came into office.
