tunnel vision, blackouts and drips

Costa new NSW treasurer

Eric Roozendaal shifts from ports to roads and Small Business Minister David Campbell retains his portfolio and picks up water, also part of the former utilities portfolio. Mr Iemma denied Mr Tripodi had been dumped from the roads portfolio over problems with the controversial Cross City Tunnel.
The government has been criticised over the cost of the tunnel and its contract with the operators. The public has largely boycotted the tunnel, which is reaching only a third of its targetted use.

The blackouts were caused by dust settling onto porcelain insulators which, when damp with dew, caused electricity to jump from its normal path, the Utilities Minister, Carl Scully, said yesterday.
