b) It is under budget so they can’t blame the other side for cost overruns.
c) They are afraid that any teething problems could embarrass the government.
d) It demonstrates Federal Finance for rail infrastructure is an establised part of the knitting for Melbourne’s western suburbs, which makes Tony Abbott’s ‘no-rail’ policy look silly.
e) It makes the Naphthine governmnet look silly because the East West link is an expensive fiasco that ended in court, meanwhile they have quietly delivered a major rail infrastructure.
f) All of the above.
