The $14.5 billion Inland Rail project, designed to establish a rail link between Melbourne and Brisbane, is under construction through regional Victoria, New ...

"These routes struggle to cope at the best of times. "Under my predecessor, frankly, I think the project became something of a strange vanity project for him. "The transcontinental rail line, the Stuart Highway, the Carpentaria Highway, the South Coast Highway in WA, and the main west rail line out of Sydney - all are vital transport links and all are rated at high risk," she said. Ms King said the government was finalising a response to the Inland Rail's independent review, prepared by former Sydney Water chief executive Dr Kerry Schott, and would respond to its findings "soon". Blaming the Morrison government for losing sight of the project's goals, Ms King said the Inland Rail project served as a "damning indictment" of its former administrators. One of Australia's biggest infrastructure projects is "way over budget and way behind schedule" and has been treated like "a strange vanity project", according to federal Transport Minister Catherine King.

In all he pocketed just shy of $712,000 before getting caught in February 2017. He had been promoted to financial controller. He lost his job and signed a letter promising to repay the funds but never did and in 2018 he was charged with theft. He personally pocketed nearly $800,000 of that. But his addiction spiralled and he gambled more and more to win back what he was stealing from the family-run business, through transfers to an account he called "petty cash".
