Not all the big ticket issues were on the table. That's my point, there were far more that weren't necessarily on the big table in Canberra, but they were there in reality.
My politics 101 comes from the other side of the fence, but rather than to try and be a politician, I am saying it for what it is as someone who was there, not someone who thinks he has all the issues on it.
I stand by my word, $150 Mil was not going to do it, and if anyone thinks only $1 bill was "wasted" they are dreamng as well. The real monetary figure would have had to have been far more than that. There was a lot more than just the Project costs flushed away here...lots more. Things have gone quiet for a very good reason, because if the real figure of waste was ever determined it would be very ugly.
As I said, I was there, plenty left, and not many were willing to fly it. It was a monumental stuff up from every angle and best dumped, regardless of your distant interpretation of what the Minister could have said.
