Organisations like the Grattan Institute provide an important service in subjecting government programs and projects to scrutiny that’s beyond the capacity of our opposition. However, they’re not elected and don’t have to stand for re-election.
As has been remarked upon quite frequently in the last couple of weeks, Dick Hamer’s bold decision to build the City Loop would never have happened if it was subject to a basic cost-benefit analysis or Grattan Institute scrutiny.
