Senator Rhiannon asked me for some information regarding WestConnex in New South Wales. I can advise that the updated business case confirms that WestConnex is financially viable and brings travel time and productivity benefits for business, freight operators and commuters. WestConnex is expected to deliver $20 billion dollars worth of economic benefits to the New South Wales economy and stimulate local economies.
