wait is she honestly saying that the ills of BPL are all down to this and not other things. In particular the hedging fiasco which she mentions has caused no issue for BPL. Is that because you have increased prices by 60% for the population, so that BPL won't be affected by it? BPL has serious issues which no Government for 20 years has tried to fix, i don't expect this Government to be any different. Finally to have a cost overrun of $20 odd million on a $95 million building is probably the most cost efficient overrun by Government ever. Would wish the Baseball stadium overrun could have been that small.
Fully agree. The idea that because the person may have done something bad then it is ok is a stupid. We need a massive change in this country, which will come one way or another. However if we don't do anything that change will be a lot more painful.
WE don't do health and safety here. We accept that every year there will be a couple of deaths and many serious injuries on building sites. IF we wanted to reduce these we would enforce health and safety laws. I shouldn't see people 5 floors up on a roof with no safety harness, or people wearing no hard helmets. When was the last time someone inspected buildings to say they were safe? . Until that changes tragic situations such as these will continue.
Of course the easement is open. This talk by Wynn that they have a legal opinion that it is no longer there is alarming and Government should immediately inform them that is not the case. Easements can not be gotten rid of just because someone wants that. They are there for all the pubic.

So effectively he is saying he is not the best person for the job, but the one the PM wants and therefore should be voted in.
