Held in Melbourne last week, the two-day event heard about the challenges facing Ukraine as the major international issue, and inefficiencies in the south-eastern Australian rail network as the big domestic issue.

“I’ve got a real feeling that the Victorian rail system is just going to fall over,” Mr Weidemann said.
