With voter collapse for the Federal ALP now happening in Victoria I would expect there to be a major funding push by Chalmers and Albanese to fund the Suburban Rail Loop.
A major chunk of the state’s debt comes via Victoria’s infrastructure program, including road projects the $10.2 billion West Gate Tunnel and the $26 billion North East Link, and rail projects the $15.6 billion Melbourne Metro.
Jacinta Allan has revealed the reason she is “really grateful” for a petition the federal opposition has launched about Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop project.
Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East is powering ahead, with the $1.7 billion contract awarded to build the northern section of twin tunnels between Glen Waverley and Box Hill.
