Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper has called on the government to release modelling that shows taxpayers could be forced to pay up to $4.3billion if a container terminal is established at the Port of Newcastle.
Treasurer Daniel Moohkey released the figure on Thursday at the same time as he tabled details of privatisation contracts entered into by the previous Coalition government relating to the Port of Newcastle, Port Botany and Port Kembla.
