Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and admit that the whole thing is a f'up of epic proportions and start again. $350M is a very costly mistake but sooner or later someone has to draw a line under it and say that's it, no more. We blew over $1B on a public transport ticketing system in Victoria (that still doesn't work properly) with that attitude. Not to mention $640M to NOT build a road that Melbourne desperately needed.
As previous posters have pointed out though, when you have massive egos and vested interests involved, and no doubt plenty of politics as well, that's easier said than done. Still, if NZ can do it, why can't we..?
I look forward to the person GC was referring to with the very large set of balls, to rise from the pack and sort this mess out. Dreaming..? Probably.
Agree that no one from CASA will do it. It has to come from higher up, but sadly there doesn't seem to be anyone in the current crop with the will (or the set) needed.
