That is disappointing. In January 2024, 21 months ago, we were told that the railway order would be submitted in the calendar year 2026 and that is now potentially a year delayed, so that is disappointing. I ask that whatever time can be taken off those timelines will be taken off them. On the issue of advancing the project when the railway order is in place, we know that caps on funding are in place for the Department, the NTA and out to 2035 for the Government. We have all mentioned different projects. How are those projects going to be prioritised within a limited budget?
