Daniel Andrews wrecking not building
Despite Labor’s dodgy claims, the fact remains that Melbourne desperately needs a second east west route, and Labor have no solution. Instead, Daniel Andrews seems determined to leave motorists to face ever growing congestion for years to come because of his reckless and irresponsible promise to tear up the East West Link contract.
As even the critics have had to admit, the documents released by Labor yesterday show the East West Link would deliver substantial net benefits t…o Victoria, yet Daniel Andrews and Labor have no alternative proposal. As former Treasurer, Michael O’Brien, summed it up:
“The business case shows that Victoria needs the East West Link. The cost of congestion is crippling this state and Daniel Andrews’ only plan is to be a wrecker not a builder.”
