Just remeber that Andrews and Labor said We won't have to pay a cent to tear up the East West Link contract.... Seems that was a LIE

Andrews Government faces massive compensation bill to axe East West Link

Daniel Andrews has backed away from his pre-election stance that taxpayers would not pay compensation to dump the East West Link toll road.

Mr Andrews said the consortium contracted to build the 6.6km road would be refunded for any work it had done on the project before it was cancelled by Labor.

 

But he would not say what further compensation would be paid to the East West Connect consortium, saying negotiations were ongoing.

 

“There are issues around costs that have been incurred, and we were very clear about, it’s appropriate to refund people costs that have been incurred,” he said.

 

“That’s a usual practice, whether you are building a house worth two or three hundred thousand dollars or a much bigger project.”

Mr Andrews said he couldn’t say how much taxpayers would have to pay in total to scrap the contract for the project.

 

The Herald Sun can reveal that key members of the consortium that signed the contract to build the Link want at least $1.2 billion to walk away from the dumped project.

 

and lets not forget the 3000 plus people that won't have a job since EWL is scrapped by Labor

I do hope the Melbourne people like traffic jams for the next 20 years thanks to labor.

 

 

Napthine should never have signed the contracts and locked Victorians into this dud deal just before going into caretaker mode anyway. Probably one of the reasons Victorians overwhelming voted his govt. out.

He knew what he was doing locking us into that compensation clause though, as Labor said all along that they opposed it.
