The revelation of Daniel Andrews' $3.3 billion blowout on his "signature" West Gate Tunnel project is just another blow to the "punch-drunk electors and taxpayers" of Victoria, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.
"You may remember that when Daniel Andrews was first elected, he tore up contracts signed by the former Napthine Liberal government to build the East West Link," Ms Credlin said.
"It didn't matter that construction was already underway, Andrews killed it off because he had a pre-election deal with the Greens and as a result, taxpayers were forced to pay out a billion dollars in compensation, for contract breach.
"A billion dollars not to build a new, much needed road.
"And in place of the cancelled East-West link, the Andrews government accepted a near-substitute proposal from Transurban, to build the West Gate Tunnel instead.
"It was never the best option, but it's turning out to be just another one of the Andrews government disasters inflicted on long-suffering Victorians.
"Now it's a project that's stalled before it's barely started, with a near $7 billion dollar original cost, now looking like well over $10 billion, and no completion date.
"It's hard to credit, isn't it. Just another blow to the punch-drunk electors and taxpayers of Victoria."

The Age has reported Victoriaโs ICAC equivalent, the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission, has been โexamining the conduct of Premier Daniel Andrews and a senior public servant over their role in controversial deals that benefited the firefightersโ union and its boss, Peter Marshall.โ

Premier Daniel Andrews has insisted he has always acted with integrity, after it was revealed an anti-corruption probe was investigating his dealings with the firefightersโ union to broker a resolution to a long-running industrial dispute.
โIf you want to know whatโs going on at IBAC [the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission], who theyโre talking to, what theyโre talking to them about, then you should go and have a chat to IBAC,โ Mr Andrews said.
โEven with around-the-back-door questions like that, [I wonโt] be providing any other answer. And as for standards... I behave appropriately at all times. Iโm focused on always doing what is the appropriate thing to do.โ

Well, he's not the first politician to say that he has acted with integrity and he won't be the last.
Humanity with sigh with relief if he goes!
