M4 East Papers Remain Under Wraps

Despite an Upper House order to produce all documents related to the Steer Report (produced by NSW Treasury and leaked to the SMH earlier this year) and the 2007 discussion paper on the M4 East, at least six boxes of documents have not been provided for public examination. Indeed, the only materials that have been released are documents that are already in the public domain.

This is just the latest in a long line of evasions that the NSW Government has engaged in during the last two years on this subject. It is clear that the M4 East is not something that the government is prepared to go public on, in spite of public statements that the project is something that they wish to proceed with when funds are available.

See the SMH story by Matthew Moore.
