Daniel Andrews wastes more than $420m on no East West Link.

Daniel Andrews has wasted $420m compensating the East West Link consortium for NOT building the East West Link toll road. But what about the $480m that the Liberal Party claim has already been spent on the project. That blows out the cost to $900m with nothing to show for it. 

To put that in perspective, 

"The St Vincent de Paul Society has 547 people on its waiting list for housing in inner and north-west Melbourne. That number is growing by 30 people every month." - The Age July 28 2014.

$420m would buy each of the homeless people on on the St Vincent de Paul Society waiting list a $768k house.  

Based on the $900m that the Liberal Party claims has now been spent on the cancelled project, the government could build another brand new children's hospital. It could build almost two Etihad Stadiums. Or give every man, woman and child in Victoria $155.00. 

If the Victorian government has enough money to waste $420m or $900m, depending on who you believe, on building NOTHING, the government can never again claim there is not enough money in the budget to give our teachers, nurses, police, firemen, paramedics or any other essential public servants the pay increases they deserve. The governments financial waste and mismanagement has to stop.
