But surely the MRA (a government department spending our tax money) will have to reassess this decision.
The builder selection process must have a commercial risk assessment component. It would take a brave person in the MRA to award a significant contract to a builder who:
- is in a trading halt because of accounting difficulties with their FY16 statements
- is currently in litigation with their last client
- is currently in litigation with numerous subcontractors.
Not sure how a company with a market cap <$3mil can get finance for a $180mill project!
