Reported at www.themandarin.com.au: A secret document reveals that key leaders in the Melbourne Suburban Rail Loop project identified nine out of twelve assessed categories as “high risk,” primarily concerning funding challenges.

The document, obtained through a freedom of information request, indicates a strategy to control information dissemination to manage perceived financial risks related to the $34.5 billion project.

Opposition figures criticise the government for attempting to keep this information hidden, claiming it obscures a significant funding gap within the initiative.
