I dislike Daniel Andrews intensely

Sky News has deteriorated into Fox News style tabloid rubbish over the past few years. I used to watch it every day, now I can't stand it now with Bolt and the like harping on with their "right vs. left" ranting and raving. If I turn on a news channel I expect to see news actually being reported. I don't blame them for switching it off in train stations.

News actually reported?

Good Lord! Where the Hell is that happening?

Or is extreme left wing bias with impunity counted as "news" these days?

Can you imagine the guilt felt by all those good Anglicans who sponsored the Sudanese Anglicans into Oz, little knowing they were introducing a USA ghetto virus/contagion carried by the children.

So Daniel Andrews is on the take also. sold to Chinese interests no doubt ? They also have the port of Darwin and the scumbag, Andrew Robb who helped them get that now is employed by them as a 'consultant" at $880k per annum.

This sort of vision is desperately needed at a federal level.

Love or hate Daniel Andrews, he's one of very few politicians willing and able to plan beyond an electoral cycle.

VICTORIAN Premier Daniel Andrews has announced a massive new underground suburban rail network covering Melbourne and extending to the airport at a projected cost of more than $50 billion.

The Suburban Rail Loop would link every major train line in Melbourne and carry 400,000 passengers every day.

He has delusions of grandeur and is only planning so far ahead to make people think they'll need him beyond the next election. He hasn't got anything funded and just makes outrageous promises on the run. Victorians road network is approaching 3rd world, Andrews is a menace to society.

Do you live in Victoria? Roads are very well maintained.

Metro Rail and level crossing projects are well underway, as promised.

I dislike him also, minor corruption within the party appears endemic however I have to admit he is achieving infrastructure goals which partly counteracts this. Also if we are going to have a Federal labour Government soon with a Victorian leader (Shorten), I think it would be a bit silly to switch to Liberal in Victoria and once again miss out on funding.

Agree with this. The fact is we are finally getting much needed upgrades to PT infrastructure in Melbourne. Amazingly things are being built on time.

Yes, there will be associated corruption and cost blowouts, but sadly this seems to be the only way major projects happen in Australia. To think it wouldn't happen that way under a Coalition government is just naive.

Yes I do live in Victoria.
Roads maintained ? You obviously don't live in Victoria.
The freeway to the airport is like a country road, there is no airport signage till several k's into the trip.
The surface is stuffed and it's an embarrassment.
Sat nav doesn't even work here as roads are blocked for months and in some cases the plan is ta have them closed for years.
He is an egotistical corrupt creep of the highest order, giving concessions to Crown, they now are the only Casino in the state that are allowed poker machines without restrictions on the number of spins per minute. He is on the take for sure.

How are you getting to the airport??

Citylink/Tulla has just been resurfaced with additional lanes added to now make it 5 lanes each way.

All major freeways in Melbourne have been consistently upgraded and lanes added over the past 20 years.
 
Melbourne has a serious congestion issue, on the back of rapid population growth....I don't think anyone will argue about that. But the Tulla has been resurfaced and widened in the past 12 months, I'm not sure what you think the alternative course of action should be.

I don't live in Vic but for the record there's similar dodgy aspects to deals with casinos in other states so that certainly isn't a unique one.

It has not been resurfaced at all.
