I said the very same thing to the family last night about the London Underground, do people really think it made economic sense at the time?
These projects are not about profit, that is why they are labelled infrastructure.
Personally, they are 30 years too late already, we should have a bridge across the bay heads, and by now we should have been cutting a tunnel to Tassie!
Andrew chose to make the East-West link a political issue when every man and his dog knew it was needed. Infrastructure projects, while painful during construction and expensive, are necessary for the long term benefit and should never be politicised (especially at election time). Thats my simplistic view of it all.
