    Dopey Dan has the financial mismanagement of Cain/Kirner mixed with arrogance of Jeff Kennett. It is a shame the opposition are such a rabble.

    It is certainly starting to really look this way but until we see the details of the deal who knows what he has done.  Did he sell a stake in the project to the chinese?  Did he accept funding from the chinese for the project?  Was this done selling government bonds who knows.

    If however you are looking at how this came about then need only look to the poor contracting (or is it?) of the projects they have in flight.  How do we all know the idea of running over was not planned to have some of that money come back into the ALP as it has in the past?
