isnt it a good thing that according to Short man and the Pm that governments Design Build policy is far better than any other method.
Better for who? their pockets?

And now they want to spend another 30 billion on two projects.
$ 10 billion on the train and
$ 20 billion on the highway network
and I am sure that both of these will go over budget by at least 25%
so that is $30 billion for the projects and $7.5 billion to line everybody pocket.
