In the AFR [Lucille
Keen] on Saturday the 23rd of
May 2015 said it was reported that just last month our Victorian Government
paid $339,000,000 just to cancel the East West link with lost sunk costs amounting
to $500,000,000. Add on the thousands of
hours of Government time foregone and the $1.5 billion lost from the Federal
Government and the problem becomes gigantean remembering this is OUR money he
is squandering.
Now
infrastructure Australia has weighed into the ‘cancel it at any cost’ decision
by Andrews stating that Victoria has lost the opportunity through not building
East West to create a traffic plan for a key section of Victoria’s future. Instead
Andrews is going to spend money on level crossings in marginal seats. This is minutia thinking at its worst. No future thinking, just repairs in marginal
seats.
He has no
project ready to start right now worth anything in terms of long term strategy
and has foregone thousands of jobs and cost us billions through this decision
and, he has cancelled the proposed airport link.
Victoria
deserved better, MUCH BETTER.
