RTBU calls for national rail regime in light of Brookfield bid

RTBU National Secretary, Bob Nanva, has written to Federal Infrastructure Minister, Warren Truss, calling on him to address Brookfield’s proposed takeover of Asciano and the broader issues that come with it.

In the letter to the Minister, Bob Nanva says, “Asciano is at risk of being ripped apart because the regulatory environment is not up to the job of allowing world-class vertically integrated businesses to develop.”
