The COST of rank political opportunism!

Both Left and Right of Victorian politics will be slinging mud at each other over the almost $400 m, of taxpayer's money which has been paid out to NOT build a grossly expensive and questionably useful piece of road infrastructure. The whole saga has been a dreadful exhibition of political opportunism and one-upsmanship by both sides, leading inevitably to today's loss of a fortune in tax-payer funds which could have been allocated to more pressing problem solving than compensation of aggrieved contractors!

The only redeeming feature is the fact that Dan Andrews was elected to demolish the so-called East-West Link project, and his promise has been full-filled today. But, that doesn't absolve he and his party from their shared role in a debacle, the origin of which can be traced as far back as 1969!!
