A state of emergency was called for this one to fund it because it ended costing over 170million and noone seems to care in a dismal economy.
It is somewhat aggravating no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on that someone so commited to "CHANGE" has the guall to spend that kind of money considering everything going on right now in the economy. It could have been scaled down appropriately....

but guys ...
( BTW- here in Aus I refuse to vote full stop and in doing so I get fined for my lack of action)
it has been the case that no matter where within government you look , from this type of BS to the day to day running cost of them , governments are the biggest waste of money that has , or will ever be in my opinion..
It surprises me not that this thing cost like it did and you must realize that they do not really give a **** about you or me or what we think !!! .... they say they do , but their first aim is to get themselves into positions where they are the best looked after and wheel the most power possible...
Politicians are best at feathering there own nests , always have and always will...
