Australian Government orders inquiry into infrastructure costs
THE Australian Government last week announced a new Productivity Commission inquiry into infrastructure costs and financing in Australia, which it said will deliver on a key Coalition commitment and form part of the government's 'ambitious infrastructure agenda'.
In a joint statement, Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey said the inquiry will be crucial in identifying how to lower construction costs and develop a partnership with the private sector to build the infrastructure of the twenty-first century that Australia needs.
