Latest from lobster boy, interesting that most Lib supporters ask where the current Vic govt is going to get HCW but Matthew Guy is going to just "attract" them.
Going to dump the rail loop as well, no long term planning with Matty

Get with the times, he's now "Matt Guy". Apparently along with the Libs TikTok videos, shortening his name is a sure election winner.

The most disgraceful, inept, corrupt and deluded PM this country has had to endure. How he ever got to the position in the first place is an indictment on Australia to be honest. Trump-USA I can understand how…but Australia ?

We let ourselves down badly electing this dishonest egomaniac.

Finally a journo asked a good question & said the secrecy is what we're all upset about & that it's a slippery slope to a dictatorship.
Bingo.

Completely untrustworthy.

When Andrews stopped the EW Link, he copped it from every angle because they claimed cancelling big projects will be a disincentive for businesses to invest in Victoria.

As for investing in the health system, they tried everything in their power to undermine the pandemic response.

I guess they are hoping Victorians have short memories.

This is typical Liberal populist politics with no foresight for the future. They will never learn.

The SRL makes perfect sense considering the population is growing in the outer suburbs

Completely deluded lying narcissist. A disgrace to our country. Stand him aside Dutton & investigate this bastard. Nobody believes his duplicitous behaviour.
Imagine all the dirt Morrison would spill if he got the arse. Dutton and the rest would be unelectable - mind you, they should be anyway.

It's also the ridiculousness of the notion that he was setting up COVID redundancy in case a minister got sick, but concentrating all that in one person, himself. It was all for his giant ego and delusion that he's God's man. Utter *smile*.

I get why people are concerned with the cost of the SRL. But with less people going into the city and Melbourne heading towards decentralising to suburban hubs, this project will be invaluable.

I have a bigger issue with the airport rail line. I live in the city of Moonee Valley. Without a train station at Airport West/Keilor Park region included in the project, it will take people like me longer to get to the airport by train than someone who lives in Dandenong. I will need to backtrack to Flinders St or Melbourne Central and change trains. It’s a bloody joke and it needs to be rectified.

A very secretive, dodgy, lying and now disgraced ex Pm is Morrison. He even went to Hawaii, while Australia was burning, without telling anyone.

Why does everything need to be a secret, and what else is there that we don't know about?

Can expect a rush on FOI requests.

Many many years ago I was enrolled in a subject dealing with transport economics, this was the 1980s. At that time 70% of trips in Melbourne were cross town. The radial transport system has never really catered to the transport needs of Melbourne and the new lines linking up middle suburbs are well overdue. I'm sure they could come up with a business case which justifies it, and another which shows it won't work. I reckon if they build it people will use the train lines.

Agree on the Airport line. European airports are the model here, the trains going through the airport (note that is trains plural, lots of lines) go all over the place. Land at Brussels and catch a train in to town, off into the Belgian countryside, to Paris, Berlin etc. Same at Amsterdam. The airport train needs to be a line to somewhere else as well as the airport and, if you do it properly, you have enough tracks so there is a normal train which stops along the way and separate tracks for express trains to the city. They should just build tracks down the middle of the Tulla Freeway, reduce the lanes for motor vehicles and if people complain about traffic congestion tell them to jump on the train.

Happiest people in Melbourne this weekend would be the owners of Bellbird. stitched up the L plate health minister has paid per operating theatre $35 million to acquire. Did the deal include staff?
Doesn't matter, it's only tax payer money. Doesn't matter which brand of govt you look at, they all love pissing tax payer money down the drain.
