DELIVERING THE GOODS

Thank you once again to Garry Button - Freight Victoria CEO (pictured above) for his commentary in the Autumn 2019 edition of Across Borders

"Investments include:
• The $1.75 billion Regional Rail Revival which – while it has a passenger focus – nevertheless upgrades tracks shared with freight.
• $130 million to remove a rail freight bottleneck in Ballarat that delays portbound freight.
• $10 million to Shepparton Freight Rail Network Planning.
• The Mode Shift Incentive Scheme that gives a rebate for containers on rail.
• A new Port Rail Shuttle Network, which will deliver an efficient and cost efective way of shuttling containers between the Port of Melbourne and the outer-metro area."

FINANCE REPORT

Weekly Market Commentary
UK PM May has finally resigned (officially leaving June 7), after completely failing to deliver Brexit, as promised on numerous occasions. She will be remembered as perhaps the worst conservative leader in a generation and leaves the party and country, in turmoil. The GBP is trading 1.2700, much lower than the economic performance dictates and this can be solely attributable to the Brexit chaos over three years. The new Tory leader may deliver Brexit and the GBP could literally roar back. The EU will now have to become a lot more flexible, as their intransigence was partly to blame for the disaster, so their leaders will be in a state of concern. The EUR trades 1.1120 and will be impacted by a new deal. ... read more
