OK ... fish for brains.

Labor Party came to office in May 2022.
Florence started tunnelling in March 2022.
Florence struck problems Dec 2022.
Tell me what the disaster prior was?

You shoulda voted LNP.

''Focussing first on TBM Florence.
Over the past year Florence has only bored 200 metres, barely more than her length. (Her tail is just inside the tunnel portal.)
She has averaged 60 centimetres a day!
If she had been operating at her design specification of 30 to 50 metres per day she would have bored 200 metres in less than a week and would now be at least nine kilometres into the seventeen kilometre headrace tunnel from Tantangara Reservoir to the future Marica surge shaft (i.e. be over halfway).
Having bored just 1% of the headrace tunnel, Florence has no chance of achieving the September 2023 schedule.
At her current ‘speed’ Florence will take another 70 years.
This astounding and highly embarrassing revelation has only become evident from delving into a seemingly innocuous ‘Snowy 2.0 Headrace Tunnel Update’ issued on 16 December 2022 advising that “Snowy 2.0 teams are monitoring a surface depression that has emerged above Florence”.
The update referred to “the ground conditions encountered by the TBMs on Snowy 2.0 being highly variable in fluctuating groundwater conditions”.
The update gave the assurance that “tunnelling is continuing while work to remediate the surface depression is carried out”.
However, we have heard that is not the case and that Florence has been immobilised for the past two months and the surface depression has yet to be remediated. We have even heard rumours that Florence is irretrievably stuck, unable to go forwards or back.
The update gave no hint of the magnitude of Florence’s problems or her miniscule progress since commissioning.
