After all, John Howard supported the Alice to Darwin railway, which is a typical nation-building project which obviously doesn’t enjoy a short-term economic return but most people would consider is well worthwhile for our future security.
Well Carlyle Group who purchased it for 330 million when it cost over a billion of tax payer money to build thought it well worthwhile.
Both Haliburton and Carlyle did very well out of this 'nation building project'.
Not sure Howard would want you associating him with such a diaster.
Hopefully WAAS has better future.....
