But the ALP cheer squadies on HC consider that this is not profligate spending, that is paying a shed load of money not to build something that will need to be built sometime in the future and cost many shed loads more.
If you reflect on their logic they may have a point.
This shed load of money is gonna be spent not to build something so IT won't be seen. There is nothing there.
Whereas building a desal plant and a pipeline for several shed loads of money are "there". They are real
So when you can see"it" = embarrassment. When you can't see it = no money wasted.
