Victorian State Election

[laj]

But when does state govt suddenly stop on the fear they have no right to sign a contract.

Napthine was correct and Andrews even agreed that contracts should be honoured... until he changed his mind for the sake of expediency.  When it is built (and it will be) it'll cost a lot more

Napthine was never correct.This purely the Liberals fault, Andrews said before the contract was signed that he was never going to build it but he signed it anyway. He did it to wedge Labor knowing he was going to lose the election. Just signed it, no business case whatsoever, just pure politics. The business case was found to be very poor and needed tolls on other roads, like the Westgate Freeway, just to pay for it. Andrews called his bluff.
