‘Great project’: Albanese announces $3.25 billion to Vic North East Link

The Albanese government is making sure “every state gets its fair share” of infrastructure funding, says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. His remarks come after he announced his commitment of an extra $3.25 billion to Victoria’s North East Link. “On its merits – this is a great project,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Thursday. “This is a vital piece of the missing links that are here in Melbourne. “It’s not just about where we are now and the magnificent tunnels that will be built here – it’s about the other upgrades that will occur, including to the M80.”
