南澳大利亚州长已将该州最大的基础设施项目——耗资150亿澳元的托伦斯升级工程——移交州反腐败监察机构,原因是担心非法摩托车帮派可能已渗透其承包体系。此举使这项重大公共工程支出的监管再次受到审视。
South Australia's premier has referred the state's largest infrastructure project, the AU$15 billion Torrens upgrade, to the state's anti-corruption watchdog over fears outlaw motorcycle gangs may have infiltrated its contracting. The referral puts fresh scrutiny on oversight of major public works spending.
南澳大利亚州长彼得·马利瑙卡斯已要求该州独立反腐败专员调查托伦斯至达灵顿高速公路项目,这是该州单一最大的基础设施工程,原因是担心非法摩托车帮派可能已渗透其承包链条。此次移交是在情报显示与帮派有关联的分包商可能在该长达十年的道路升级项目的供应链中运作之后作出的。
South Australia's premier, Peter Malinauskas, has asked the state's Independent Commissioner Against Corruption to investigate the AU$15 billion Torrens-to-Darlington motorway project, the state's single largest infrastructure undertaking, over fears that outlaw motorcycle gangs may have infiltrated its contracting chain. The referral follows intelligence suggesting bikie-linked subcontractors could be operating within the supply chain for the decade-long road upgrade.
该项目是连接阿德莱德北部和南部郊区的更广泛的南北走廊的一部分,该项目此前已面临大型城市基础设施工程典型的成本超支和进度压力。腐败调查可能导致进一步延误,并给政府一再宣称对该州经济增长至关重要的项目带来声誉风险。
The project, part of the broader North-South Corridor linking Adelaide's northern and southern suburbs, has already faced cost blowouts and scheduling pressure typical of major urban infrastructure works. A corruption probe risks further delays and reputational exposure for a scheme the government has repeatedly promoted as central to the state's economic growth.
向独立反腐败专员的移交凸显了澳大利亚各州对有组织犯罪渗透利润丰厚的建筑合同的日益担忧,特别是由州和联邦政府共同资助的项目。官员表示,调查将重点审查采购和分包做法,而非项目的工程或设计。
The ICAC referral underscores growing concern in Australian states about organised-crime infiltration of lucrative construction contracts, particularly on projects funded jointly by state and federal governments. Officials say the investigation will examine procurement and subcontracting practices rather than the project's engineering or design.
