Mr. Gunning said he had absolutely no confidence in the main contractor in meeting its deadlines. We are now on to the 15th advised deadline. That is a pretty outstanding position for the State to be in regarding one of the biggest pieces of infrastructure that is going to be delivered. How are day-to-day relationships working? Has there been a complete breakdown in them? How can we sit here and have any confidence or agree more money should be paid out if Mr. Gunning is telling us he has absolutely no confidence in the main contractor?
