Have I understood this right...?
"That process was abandoned because nobody could get their price under the $100 million-mark.
.........After a second tender in 2008, a company called CSG (briefly suspended from the process but re-admitted) landed the $60.5 million contract. By 2012,"
So there was a bidding process that said it would cost >$100m.
Then they tried again (why?) and a company that was already open to mistrust comes along and says they can do it for half of that. So you give them a contract.
Would you even have your central heating fitted on that basis?
And the project wasn't tied down to a cost guarantee.
Ditto re central heating.
And no one seems to have been watching this and asking awkward questions?
Not the central government, the state government, the local councils or whatever they have there, the press. No one noticed hundreds of millions of (Aus) dollars being spent like this?
