@News24Aust Government agreed $110 target cost, then an increase to $116m after the CFMEU intervention. Final cost actually only $104m and the Alliance constructors were entitled to 35% of the savings (just as they would have suffered 35% of overrun). BUT they got 35% of $116m!! Dumb client.
@abcnewslatest Were Chinese owned John Holland complaining that China connected Dan Andrews may have been in the craw of a Croation led CFMEU? Getting confusing.
@FinancialReview Crux of KC's overly long address today appears to be that the Gov't let the CFMEU influence BK Labour (Irish Director) taking over the main labour supply contract from Zoom labour hire (Greek Director) and Connect People (Italian MD) at extra cost. No Gatto, no Bikies involved?
@abcnewslatest Wasted hours of my life watching a tense KC drone on in first case study. But didn't hear mention of Mick Gatto, Bikies or Crims, just naivety of public servants and the villain appears to be a labour hire firm owned by an Irishman. Not much changed since convict chain gang days?

@3AW693 The Industry Super Funds proposal to put up real private sector money to build it chose Sunshine as the commercially viable route, with the (related) Airport owner supporting it. https://t.co/mAZXHGCHKT
@7NewsBrisbane An interesting witness, but it is a pity that one time U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani, who claimed to have invented RICO wasn't able to be an expert witness. https://t.co/wx1TueTuZC
@strangerous10 People also remember the railway station carparks he thought were a brilliant idea for the 2019 election. He realised they were a stupid, unpopular, idea by March 2022 and dropped them cold in a panic, not long before he was voted out. https://t.co/3IdbgDGozI
@News24Aust If only he had the numbers under control as well as Angus Taylor did when he was the Minister responsible for the project and defended them so self assuredly in this interview with Leigh Sales. https://t.co/N7ceQxEkGg
@strangerous10 Let’s not complicate things: Ted’s has a good looking CV but he acts as though he’s thick as a post and is completely tone-deaf when it comes to putting common decency before political advantage..
@Reuters Much more an issue related to Mental Health Services in Australia than policing, anti-terrorist intel or personal security for politicians. Australia is a big country with so many troubled people in rural areas with little support. Social & Murdoch media+ politics triggers them.
