The Federal Budget made no mention of the Alice Springs
to Darwin Railway, which probably shows what most
people were thinking all along, the Feds are not really
interested.

However the Minister for Railways in the NT Government
Barry Coulter said on TV and Radio last night that the
NT Government would make an application under the
Federal Governments "Federation Projects" fund for a
financial commitment to North South Transcontinental
Rail link.
