Jacqui Felgate has slammed the “disrespectful” state government as the Metro Tunnel faces another massive cost blowout.
Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Danny Pearson, announced a cost blowout of $837 million today, with the project now expected to cost $15 billion, $4 billion more than the original cost.
“How can the government get it so wrong all the time?” Felgate said.
“Just another classic taking out the trash move and how disrespectful to Victorian taxpayers.”
Channel Seven reporter Sharnelle Vella then shed light on Danny Pearson’s press conference, stating fellow reporters were treated to a “very long spiel” about how great the Metro Tunnel is going to be.
