Statue.

Here in Vic we are about to get a statue to the previous Premier of this state. which will cost $134,000. This brilliant idea comes when we are up to our eyeballs in debt, and is a tribute to someone who started the spiral.

The original budget for the project was $2 billion. The latest estimate is $42 billion. I think the govt should stop it, cut its losses and use it for studies in incompetence.
