New Government for Vic

With no vision, no narrative and nothing particularly interesting to say, the Victorian Liberals should not be surprised to lose a parliament they won by a bee's dick.

What's the big fuss? They all leave train wrecks (though I will admit Brumby was especially bad) which begs the question, how does someone like Brumby come in and cripple the state and then retire on a 2.3 million dollar superannuation fund? Not to mention free flights etc for him and his family for the rest of his life. That's tax payers money they he pissed up the wall and still gets to retire on.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Liberals ran a poor campaign attacking Andrews which was their only strategy and the ALP really hurt them on education with their campaign focusing on cuts to TAFE etc....when you get companies closing down and high unemployment its very hard to win an election even with a AAA credit rating and surplus.

They hardly crippled the state. Those claims were overblown, and I reckon made it harder for the Libs when the got in. Past 4 years have been dysfunctional. That's why they are the first one term government in a bloody long time.

And trying to divert the Frankston Line from going to Flinders St was suicidal.

The Liberal campaign was disgraceful, people would have voted them out for all the crap they were putting in their mailboxes.

I've never voted Liberal but I think Doyle summed it up well when he said that the reason for Napthine not receiving a second term was due to the fact that Baillieu bailed and it gave voters an out clause. Nothing against Denis who did a mighty job to try and get things done. Napthine was also a scapegoat for Abbotts pathetic first term in government that shall be short lived. Notice how Bishop and Howard were sent to try and salvage a victory because Tony is political poison.

Kennett tonight said that the East West project will go ahead according to understandings he has with ALP members due to the fact that it is too far gone. Blind Freddy knew that, yet the Victorian electorate have voted for a mob who have secured power based on lies and the support of union thugs.

Like I said I have never voted Liberal, but I'll be farked if I'll support a carnt like Andrews who is in bed with corrupt unions and doesn't give a crape to what it means to every day Victorians.

And so he should be!! If they were smart they'd put Bishop/Turnbull up but they're dumb carnts who will reap what they have sewn.

Unless the new State ALP government perform outstandingly well the Coalition losing office at a state level is probably an advantage federally.

The new Government will need to be disciplined and responsible or it becomes a burden for National Labor.

Just a quick question here...

How many people were happy with the proposed east-west link?
How many people would actually use it? How often?

Personally, i couldn't give 2 $hits about it, as i live in the northern suburbs.

As far as i can tell, not many people would actually travel from east to west or vice versa going across the city. Most people want to get into the city. Yes, i know that is still possible, but wouldn't it make sense to upgrade the trains and public transport to ease east/west travel?

FWIW, Labor, Liberal and Greens all decided to extend the rail network out north which is what we all care about up here.

The east west link is important, it's an absolute nightmare for traffic trying to get from the Tulla/Calder to the Eastern and it's only going to get worse and with no public transport options available it probably does need to be done at some stage. Doesn't really affect me either.

Its an absolute nightmare for traffic everywhere in Melbourne.

Plenty road is the main road to the northern suburbs. It starts at Thornbury and continues through to the fastest growing area in Victoria South Morang/Mernda/Doreen and continues all the way to Whittlesea. 27km straight up in all.

It can take you 30 minutes to get through the South Morang/Doreen section everyday. That is only a 6km long stretch of road. This is not in the heart of the city, this is a good 45minutes out of town!

This is why they are extending the rail line in this area, but point is, traffic is $hit everywhere. Is the EAST/WEST link really going to fix it?
