Commemorative Plaque Budget Explodes to $14 Billion, Because Apparently Words Aren't Cheap
Victoria's new plaque honoring Jacinta Allan's tenure will cost a cool $14 billion, a slight jump from its initial $185.95 price tag. Apparently, 'unforeseen challenges' like attaching words to a flat surface drove up the cost, but hey, at least it creates jobs... mostly in asking why it's so expensive.
