To echo my comment from the Melbourne thread. I think it's a good thing and wish more governments would call off projects as soon as they realise the cost is going to blow out.

Better to waste a small amount of money up front, than an extra $4B later.

Value for money should always be in the conversation. Feels like a lot of policy gets held hostage by a sunk cost / we already announced it trap.

If you never cancel anything it sends the wrong message to under quote and jack up the price later.
