      <description><![CDATA[Snowy 2.0's TBM Florence was stuck for months in a 850-metre stretch of bad ground. A fourth $75M TBM was commissioned to rescue the schedule.

      <description><![CDATA[Reg 48 is loose on the technology and tight on the audit trail. Standalone satellite devices satisfy the safety brief but not the evidence brief. Here is the four-category framework WorkSafe inspectors are actually applying in 2026.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The first time anyone was jailed under Australia's Heavy Vehicle National Law was 23 January 2024.
