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.
Mr Andrews disputed whether the contracts signed by the Government with the wining consortium yesterday were legally binding.
“There is nothing to walk away from, be very clear about this, the contracts are not worth the paper they’re written on,” Mr Andrews said. “This is not a legally binding contract.”
