Even more reason to ride a bike instead of public transport

Are you suggesting that delays don't impact the cost? Or that the impact of those delays doesn't account for the 4x budget overrun?

I think it's only one factor in the budget overrun, but still worth mentioning.

While that conclusion is probably true, I don't think you can conclude that from the data.

Which government is this?

Some anti nuclear groups do everything they can to slow down nuclear builds, putting as many road blocks in the way as possible. Then when it's slow they say: see, building nuclear plants is slow!

It's weird to say that it "costs" the government $x to have these tax concessions. Money you're not taking is not a cost. You wouldn't say it's "costing" the government to not have everyone paying 80% tax.

Ultimately the government does benefit from these super tax concessions by reducing the number of people it has to support in old age. Forcing them to save for retirement through their working lives. But I agree most of the tax concessions go to those who wouldn't need government handouts anyway.

With div 293, we essentially do tax super at marginal tax rate minus 15pp.

Cars are unsafe at any speed. Get them off the roads.

Yeah, because the government has a history of treating whistleblowers so well.
