7 metres of press releases instead of 13 kms of light rail
It is interesting to do a cost comparison of what the Government has delivered against what it promised.
The latest estimate for light rail is it will cost $608,000 per metre of light rail. That is $6,080 per cm.
Instead they have delivered 710 cm of press releases at a cost of $50 million so that is a cost of $70,422 per cm of press release.
So the press releases are costing more than ten times per cm as the light rail will!
