    Labor did complete quite a few transport projects. But my point is they did have almost 3 times the amount of time in office to realize these plans. In fairness the Liberals did offer plans for additional projects if they were re-elected. Such as the Melbourne rail-link tunnel and Airport line etc.

    Labor also had mess-ups such as Myki for instance as you mentioned.

    That completely misrepresents their years in office; they had Southern Cross (despite the projects' technical shortcomings the old one was a terrible embarrassment), South Morang, Craigieburn and Sunbury - and soon to add the completed Regional Rail Link to that list. The only reason Baillieu didn't pull the plug on that one when they got into office was because most of the money was from Kevin Rudd's post-GFC largesse. Otherwise I'd still be crawling behind suburban all-stoppers on the my way to visit friends in Ballarat.

    And the fact that the Montague tunnel gets consigned to the bin forever is evidence that there is in fact a God and she's looking out for us.
