The Allan Labor Government must end its stalling tactics and finally build the Airport Rail Victorians deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Premier Jacinta Allan’s year-long dispute with Airport Rail has seen the project shelved, with potential completion now as far away as 2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes as reports show that neither the Premier nor the current Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Danny Pearson, attended any of the 10 mediation meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow Minister for Transport Infrastructure, David Southwick, said: “Everyone knows we need an Airport Rail, but Premier Jacinta Allan is desperate to axe it and redirect money to fill Labor’s $20 billion SRL East funding black hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The fact that nobody from the Allan Labor Government could be bothered turning up to their own mediation shows that they’re just not serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Labor cannot manage money, cannot manage major projects and Victorians are paying the price.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
