Constituency questions

Narracan electorate


Narracan electorate

Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (14:46): (244) My constituency question is to the Premier. Will the Premier release all documents that estimated the cost of the Commonwealth Games at $2.5 billion in 2022 and the subsequent documents which detail the cost at between $6 billion and $7 billion in 2023? Constituents in my community want to know how the Andrews Labor government got this estimate so completely wrong that in just 14 months the price to hold the event nearly tripled. If Victorian businesses ran their cost estimates like the Andrews Labor government, no-one would do business with them. Yet the Andrews Labor government think they can just keep having blowout after blowout and charge it to the Victorian taxpayer like it is nothing.
