Yes it SHOULD be cheaper. The Burswood bridge sections are from Malaysia, are a year behind schedule and $16 million over budget (IIRC). The Mandurah station bridge sections were built in China and were held up for 2 months while all the substandard welds were ground out and redone and a $4000 a day crane sat idle. My point is comparing the competence of the respective government departments. I'm 100% an advocate for local skills for local jobs.

Have I missed it or have R(E)A COMPLETELY missed Twiggy's deadline?
With the unions jumping on board this whole thing hinges on signing those "world class players" now.
Australian rugby development going backwards and Asian rugby development with a huge opportunity, go the IPRC!
First tour game may be a big outing Alison, Sea of Blue will be hungry 😀
I'm not too fussed about this tbh. I mean, anyone who has watched the NRC & local rugby lately can attest that most of those games are far more exciting to watch than Super/Test Rugby.
Hell, our first season as a team was probably one of the most exciting seasons we've had in my opinion despite being rubbish.
Badger wasn't necessarily a world class player but if we had a team full of him it would be fantastic watching.
I’ve heard that the Singapore National Stadium holds 100,000 people...
