Newly elected Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has criticised the former Miles government for not being clear about the soaring costs of the proposed Pioneer-Burdekin pumped hydro scheme, which has been revealed to cost $36.77 billion, instead of the original estimation of $12 billion—three times the initial forecast.
Within his first week in office, Deputy Premier Jarrod Pieter Bleijie announced the cancellation of the project.
