Link dumped by new government

摘要

Newly elected Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews maintained throughout his electoral campaign that the $7 billion East West Link contract "isn't worth the paper it's written on" and vowed to tear it up. Following his victory, he reiterated that the new state government would not be building the road. Andrews has sought advice about releasing documents about the project and plans to have a discussion with the consortium building the project soon, according to media reports. "They build things, I've got plenty of things to build," he told Fairfax Radio. "And I think we can have an adult and mature and methodical discussion about our priorities, about the mandate we have and work with them."
