The project missed out on Federal Funding, last I know was the proponents
were seeking alternative sources of funding from the private sector.   Can't
see any funding coming from the ACT Govt, they've lost up to $40 million on
Bruce Stadium, and goodness knows how much on the School of Hospitality, so
no doubt are wary of having their fingers burnt yet again.
