Reports by McKinsey, KPMG and Access Economics comprehensively establish 
the business case. That’s more than enough. Demanding more is seeking 
waste. Online trolls have a tactic of demanding the unnecessary. 
Satisfying the demand leads only to more demands. At least the troll 
only wastes their opponent’s time. The opposition wants to waste 
taxpayers’ money.

Come to think of it, that’s a good term for the opposition’s demands for 
cost-benefit analysis, when the business case is firmly established: 
Political Trolling.
