Jeff Kennett really is a tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He privatised the state of Victoria that now we all regret. He hated rail at the time selling off the Freight Network and causing millions of tonnes of freight to shift to road, he denied Melbourne the Airport Rail Link the federal government at the time was prepared to pay for in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kennett tried to close down the Warrnambool Line and lift it, he closed Mildura and Shepparton alter being reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sold V\/Line to national rail which collapsed after realising the poor state of the rail network under his stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He lifted the South Gippsland Railway Line despite much traffic being available and a major port being considered for South Gippsland.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now Kennett is anti the Suburban Rail Loop despite wanting to deliver metro rail services in 2012, he is two faced and cannot be taken on his word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
