Murray Basin Rail Project- Letter to Deputy Prime Minister
On 12 August I wrote a joint letter with my colleague Stuart Grimley MP to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Michael McCormack MP. We asked the Federal Government to advise when the response to the revised business case on the Murray Basin Rail Project will be announced and to confirm their continued support for the full completion of this project. The Murray Basin Rail Project is extremely important to Northern and Western Victoria and has the capacity to deliver economic growth and boost productivity. We continue to be concerned with a lack of transparency around the revision of the business case, and share stakeholders' fears that the project will be watered down or continue to be put on the back burner.
