Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is digging in behind Labor’s signature Suburban Rail Loop, as federal election battle lines sharpen over funding the controversial project.
“Jacinta Allan is obsessed with the Suburban Rail Loop. It’s pie in the sky. It’s not going to happen, and Anthony Albanese is joined at the hip with her on that project,” Dutton said during a campaign stop in Melbourne.
Introducing two new train lines, the Big Build aims to enhance connectivity and streamline public transport across the state, making commuting more convenient than ever before.
Money wasted on North East Link by a government controlled by unions for the benefit of their members and not the general public or all Victorians. The Suburban Rail Loop ranked above North East Link and on par with Metro Tunnel
Peter Dutton has never delivered any rail projects for an cities or electorates in Australia. I am sure he is rarely ever been to Melbourne or understands what is important to the people of Melbourne as he is a Queenslander who has aspirations not for Canberra but for a mansion on Sydney Harbour.
This man cannot be trusted.
Is there any real doubt this massive city called Melbourne does not need an orbital rail line?
The issue seems to be how we got here. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
