DAS is/was a complete idiot of the kind who deserved a total ban.  He is back here again as BB with the same mindless, fact-free drivel.

You blokes need to get over it.  Labor won by a country mile, the Libs are dead in the water in Vic.  As a matter of interest though, please tell me what infrastructure projects the Libs in Vic started, that Labor is claiming kudos for?

If anything it was the other way around, when the Libs got in, a lot of major projects started by Labor years before were nearing completion.  Mr Ballieu and his cronies were at the flag unveilings claiming the credit.

As for the Desal Plant, the Libs also promised to build one if elected in one of the 2000 decade elections, Myki - sure - a dogs breakfast but now running successfully.

The people of Victoria DONT WANT the Liberals in power, they stuff everything they plan and all that happens is state based taxes GO UP to make up the shortfall.  That is why the LIB/Nats existing MPS are driving around in a mini.

Keep Victoria Beautiful - Keep the LIB/Nats out!

To Libs credit they built a helipad that employed 6 maybe 7 people , well that's if they actually started it, I don't recollect the ribbon cutting .

Blame the idiots Libs for going ahead with a useless project.


Its infrastructure that links and will be needed in 10 years time. Smart people know that the time to build is now, not wait till its needed because at that time it is too late.

Smarter to build up the metropolitan link. Take traffic AWAY from the city, and still provide the links that are needed.

The West Link has been PROVEN to not provide the solution required. How are you guys still so daft as to believe otherwise?


Labor had 10 years to work on this and did nothing...

in fact...

they went out of their way to destroy rail in the country...

they shut down the Mildura Rail link instead of upgrading it so that all the rail gauge was the same and the trip quick.. they promised to have a "look" at it over they past few years in office but did nothing..  Angry

they not only shut down the Colac Loop, so that trains can pass each other and therefore more than one train on the line, they then ripped it up making sure only one train was on the track at any given time...  Angry

the libs, in only 3 years fixed and reopened the loop allowing more trains to flow on the track.. business has been booming on that line now...

the libs have ordered 34 new trains (4 already built) with the rest to come.. then the Labor dickheads said that they were going to order 30 trains if they win the election - well they are the liberal trains that are already being built... fricken liars..

the Libs were also working on inner city rail...

along with all their rail projects they've got massive road projects going all over the state.. replicating highways all the way from Melbourne, to Geelong, to Winchelsea and Heading to Colac...

that speeds up travel times and allows people to move out of the city and ease housing prices...

also new over taking lanes all over the state... big projects heading out towards Hamilton/Horsham with also rail upgrades...

............

Andrews promised BIG Rail infrastructure but as soon as he got in said.. errr maybe we can't do it now  Cheesy

what a fricken Dickhead...  Angry

..............

at this stage the only infrastructure projects are the ones the Libs already had on the go..

.............

but get this...

now Dickhead Andrews is now susing out on changing the Law through parliament to renege on the East/West Link without compensation.. 

what a dirty grubby slimy thief..  Angry


he needs to be awfully careful about that.  Retrospectively altering the terms of contracts would destroy confidence in private firms getting involved.  The other silly thing is that all Abbott has to do is to say that if he does that there will be zero federal funds available and it is all over.  Talk about amateur hour


Like when Abort canned the 4.5billion worth of clean energy projects from private enterprise that were in the pipeline when he abolished carbon tax?

I truly hope idiot does take away the funds. Well finally get rid of the liberals in this great state.

Napthine built a $10 million loop and refuse to put more services on it, and you're claiming that he was a successful public transport and railway premier? 

Liberals don't believe in rail. Just ask tony whether he thinks there are enough people wishing to go from the same point a to the same point b in order to justify public rail.

And you know their other major rail projects?  Removing 5 boom gates in safe liberal seats, which weren't even in the top 50 most dangerous boom gates in melbourne.

Liberals only believe in sticking this state up with billion dollar toll roads we would've spent the next 56 years paying for. And the end result would've been increased traffic in the city, and destruction of royal park.

UPDATE: PREMIER Daniel Andrews has backed away from his pre-election stance that taxpayers would not pay compensation to dump the East West Link toll road...

The government of Daniel Andrews could be forced to pay compensation for the scrapped East West Link.

The Herald Sun can reveal that key members of the consortium that signed the contract to build the Link want at least $1.2 billion to walk away from the dumped project.


well derrrrr..  Cheesy

can someone do the Math for this absolute dickhead?

the project is to cost around 5 Billion

Victoria was to put in 2 Billion
Federal to put in 3 Billion

if he doesn't go ahead with it (which he is hell bent on doing) then this dickhead, will throw away 1.2 Billion dollars of Victorian tax payers money... then... he'll lose the 3 Billion of Federal money...

in effect, he'll be throwing away over 4 Billion dollars..

so basically, if he does go ahead with it.. we'll save that 4 Billion Dollars and it will only cost the Victorian tax payer 1 Billion Dollars to build a road so badly needed in the city...

how could any person in "right mind" vote for these absolute nincompoops...  Angry

its Labor all over again.. wasted Billions on a stupid pipeline we didn't need... wasted 25 Billion on a stupid desal plant we didn't need... wasted Billions on the stupid miki system that we didn't need... wasted hundreds of millions on the payouts of the bungled tatts fiasco..

for forks sake!!!  Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry


Perhaps Daniel Andrews, ACTU Premier of Vic has discovered that saying you wont pay, doesn't mean you wont be forced to do so.  That's kinda the point of legally enforceable contracts.  So now he is up for $1.2B for absolutely nothing.

that's labor for you... wasting money like no one else can.


Maybe if he employs some of his standover merchant buddies from the unions???

Bwahahahaha

The school halls used for assembly, for putting on plays, indoor PE and that are rented out by the schools for private functions earning the schools hundreds of thousands of dollars?

AND saved construction companies and trades people from going broke, kept confidence up so we sailed through the GFC with just ONE quarter of negative growth?

Even IF, big if, Andrews has to pay $1.2Bn compensation he would still save Vic ten times that amount building an unwanted, uneconomic road.

Any company claiming compo through the courts better not count on getting much more in future govt contracts.

This is rediculous for blaming labour, and so call doing math. 

Just in case you missed everything, the ALP took the Liberals on this issue, and went to an ELECTION.  And the public voted and voiced their opinion.   

Now despite the fact that the Liberals know that they probably would not win the election, they still went ahead and put that rediculous exit clause that is going to cost the tax payers dearly RIGHT before the election!   Now, this is dirty politics, as it is stupid politics.  One designed to 'scare' the public into voting for the road project. 

If any thing, this waste of money is Liberal's fault.  And I hope some investigative journalist gets hold of the people who would be benefitting from this compensation.   And see how many of their 'mates' have their fingers in the honey pot.
