Successive governments have Well uh i look it's easy as a politician to say, you know, we're gonna build this and we're gonna build that and you know, second harbour crossing and you know, isn't it gonna be amazing and stand in front of a you know, a nice stylized design and say, isn't this amazing? The reality is it's a significant infrastructure project.
