Could the big build open a hole under Victorian Labor?

The pledge to remove 50 level crossings was a signature success of the government’s first term, and this project continues. But it is running at least $2.3 billion over budget, and probably much more. The government disputes that this was a budget overrun, arguing that the many additional works they added – including new railway stations and better signalling that make the network function better – is what made costs jump.

Michelle Giovas, president of Friends of Banyule, in Borlase Reserve in Yallambie, which will be severely affected by the North East Link.For a project as environmentally precarious as the North East Link – 26,000 trees to go, almost 53 hectares of native vegetation to be impacted and a tunnel that cuts underneath the Yarra through one of the city’s most cherished bush landscapes – a court defeat over its green bona fides would be disastrous.

For the Opposition the talking points are clear: Andrews has bitten off more than he can chew and is promising the biggest infrastructure build in the state’s history without worrying about who is footing the bill. The Liberal Party’s track record on transport projects the last time it was in power is hardly one to sing from the rooftops.

Mismanagement of contracts and budgets. Do you think

Liberals hate Infrastructure and Services for People being built. They like to Cut Main services and enjoy people Suffering
