ABOVE: The travel industry was out in force yesterday at a European Chambers of Commerce lunch in Sydney where the guest speaker was federal transport minister Anthony Albanese.
The event was sponsored by Emirates, with attendees also including representatives of a number of freight companies who were vocal in their comments about the government’s policies surrounding Sydney Airport.
Albanese also discussed the potential of high speed rail in Australia, with estimates that a project could cost up to $108 billion and the govt aiming to be fully transparent in examining the issue by releasing regular progress reports for discussion.
