To a point it’s the job of the opposition to be negative about what the government does (at least that’s what they think :-) ) and there are genuine questions to be raised, particularly if your ideology is small government. I think it’s fair enough for Turnbull to take that stance – I don’t agree with what he’s saying here but if some pushback helps the government do this project better than that’s good…

There’s some great points above too, and I’m really interested in point 2 – the Opposition’s reaction.
As you say, and pending final approval, the next government will have to take this project on, irrespective of whether that government is labour or liberal. Malcolm Turnbull’s reaction to it is surprisingly negative, when the vast consensus on the idea itself is actually very positive. Is he reacting for reaction’s sake? I don’t think it’s going to win him many votes.
