The Sydney Harbour Bridge was built in an attempt to fight the depression in Australia during the early 30’s, so there was no other work to go to. It employed tens of thousands of people, at many different levels. It was, to some extent, a success as it put money into the economy. The government we have now would never even think about doing such a thing.
