Mr Smith has made a lot of noise about the cost-blow out and eventual scrapping of the Sea Sprite helicopter program (interestingly he has never made any mention of the $1 billion required to get the Collins Class submarine into shape...a new Government, means old sins are forgiven apparently), but has anyone ever heard him explain the over-run of the TAAATs system?
TAAATs was Mr Smith's CAA baby and it ran at least $77 million over budget. And that's before the cost of the legal wrangling over contracts in included.
Applyiong Mr Smith's `Sea Sprite' logic you owe the taxpayer more than $77 million. I'm sure the tax commissioner will be happy to accept a cheque or money order.
