history over allegations they deliberately
lied and over predicted traffic numbers and
outcomes for the failed Brisbane Clem Jones
Tunnel toll roads in order to boost investment
and generate wealth. Oddly enough, ASF
have thus far refused to release the actual full
simulation report and data to the public, and
they only tested each vessel class a handful
of times in some overly calm conditions.
They now claim that ships as large as
360m can safely enter and exit the seaway.
This is contrary to every
earlier expert simulation
and report done to date,
which previously exposed
significant risks involved
for ships over 280m in
length attempting the area.
The ASF Consortium have
released an economic
report from MacroPlan Dimasi that speaks
of many billions of dollars of benefits, but
the report makes a glaring admission that it
is based on unverified and unsubstantiated
input data, and that they had ‘not sought to
establish the reliability of the information’
supplied to them in determining their
projections. They clearly make it known that
they do not underwrite or guarantee anything
they have reported.
