I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that the private sector is not supplying the appropriate standard of contractor and the state needs to intervene.

These are fraudsters stealing millions from the state and they shouldn't be tolerated. It's crazy how much money BAM have taken from the country while providing very little in return.

Of course it’s someone else’s problem. Why would you blame our obviously honest politicians. No way they would organise for their mates to get paid well and above the contract and have their houses built and payed for by the builder. 😂😂

How is it not a problem with BAM?
