New tensions are building between the Andrews and Albanese governments over who will foot the cost for an Airport Rail Link cost overrun, which is now anticipated to exceed $3 billion.
According to the Herald-Sun, industry and government insiders estimate that the CBD-Tullamarine link, which was recently halted owing to a review of federally supported infrastructure projects, will cost about $13 billion in total.
A project business case written in 2021 but disclosed late last year predicted a public investment of $9.2 billion to $9.8 billion.
