Darwin’s ship lift.

It was to cost $100 million.

That has gone up in increments of $100 million and now is forecast to cost $1 billion.

It’s nowhere near finished and in fact the finish is some years away.When it is finished it will be operated by the Paspaley Company who will take the profits and any incoming to the government will be incidental.So the taxpayer pays and the profits go to a billionaire company.Some people are saying the project should be abandoned – but I doubt that that will happen.Just another one of our miss placed and hugely expensive project in the Northern Territory.
