Jacinta Allan - Leading a zombie government

[peetoo]

Naphthine planned badly.

His election stunt to get an Xtrapolis train on the Frankston line case in point.

They got a nice suprise when they got told you can't run a train with passengers without it being accredited to run on said line.

It was mostly EW link which liberals declared the election issue. Which they lost. Poetic since the policy had wedge written all over it

Allan is killing Victoria with her SRL nonsense. The area that was promised to be a parkland for people will be turned into an eyesore that nobody wants to be next too.

You can say goodbye to Clarinda as a nice suburb.

It’s just the LNP age HS alliance which is drip feeding negativity. It would be interesting to see if they have the balls to actually come out and say they will stop SRL dead.

They won't have to. As it currently stands there is no funding for the project, or very limited funding. The Allen government will b forced to 'pause' SRL and eventually drop it because the state's credit rating will take another hit.

You blindly support SRL because the government keeps telling us Melbourne will be bigger in population than London in 30 years. Yet:

• there is no business case for the complete project;
• the government has no idea how it will be funded;
• We are already seeing funding across other departments slashed because all the eggs are in the SRL basket. Roads funding slashed by 30%, for example.
• government modelling shows patronage on the Cheltenham - Box Hill line will be well less than the government claims;
• credit agencies have warned the state's credit rating will take a hit if the government presses on with an unfunded SRL (they have NOT said SRL is bad, just that the state cannot accommodate the massive debt increase).

It really defies logic that the Allen government cannot see the wood for the trees with SRL

Not only that but Hospitals having to slash budgets because of lack of funding from this government
Junta Allan is leading Victoria into multi-generational doom.
