There you go! That was pretty much the quality of the analysis. That was the cost-benefit analysis that you put together. You got a whole bunch of noted critics together, including Kevin Morgan—I have to say that I have a lot of time for Kevin, having known him through the union movement, but he has never been a fan of the NBN—then you get them to do this so-called 'cost-benefit analysis'. Tell me, though: where was your cost-benefit analysis when you chucked $1.5 billion at WestConnex? You just wrote it off.
