Victorian premier says he is not suggesting ‘people didn’t do their best’ amid criticism that Games bid should never have gone ahead

“Any prudent government would focus on the worst-case number rather than the best-case number and the worst-case number tells you that this was not worth going ahead with,” Terrill told Guardian Australia.The business case was prepared with input from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, VisitAndrews described the documents on Tuesday as “hardly the greatest piece of work ever done”.

“That’s very, very clear because the estimates are a long way from what the costs were going to be,” he told reporters, adding they were being investigated by the state’s auditor general. Andrews said he had “no idea” if those tasked with putting together the Commonwealth Games business case were working on other government projects.

“I’m not giving you the names of people who did the work. That’s not fair at all and there’s no need for me to do that because I’m accepting responsibility as the leader of the government,” he said. “I’m not for a moment suggesting that people didn’t do their best. I’m not for a moment suggesting that every single thing that affected these costs was foreseeable and ought to have been included. That would be unfair to say.
