To be honest, I think it was probably a good move, it was a terrible and close enough to criminal deal done by the Liberal Party as they were leaving office. (Every poll showed they were going to lose and lose big) there was very little reason to build the project especially on the cost benefit analysis the only real reason the Libs wanted to push ahead with it was to hand over a huge chunk of public money to their developer and corporate mates. It was effectively a massive corporate welfare programme, frankly I'm please Andrews stopped it, what the Liberals were trying to do was close enough to theft. I live in the west and work in North Melbourne, the white elephant they wanted to build would help no one.
sorry dude, have to disagree. Giving away a billion dollars for nothing and breaking a contract is never ok. I have mates who work in transport and are staunch Labor voters who were filthy with what he did. Dan needs to get out into the real world and run a real business and see how he fares with being accountable for money spent.
Some of the stuff that's happened with the rail crossings is just farcical, nearly as much money wasted on poor planning and stuff ups as the desal plant.
Can understand your point of view tho.
