I quite agree that successive governments since the late 1960's (when the original plans were drawn up) should hang their heads in shame but I think we all know it's the party in power who cop for it - just like playing a horrific game of musical chairs or pass the parcel.

Whilst scoring political points from the blame game is (rightly) frowned upon, I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming months the Government in power at the time tries to score political points for the inevitable upgrades coming to many high-rise buildings.

Cheers
