Scrapping East-West Link will cost Victorians dearly

Daniel Andrews’ reckless, politically-motivated decision to end the East West Link contract will cost Victorian taxpayers around $800-900 million, and will scrap the biggest road project in the fastest growing city in Australia.

These wasted millions of dollars mean fewer schools and hospitals will be built, fewer trains will be ordered and Victorians will still be stuck in traffic.

Victorians living in the eastern and western suburbs of Melbourne will be particularly hard hit.

As well, thousands of Victorians will miss out on the jobs this vitally needed infrastructure would have created.
