    The group is accusing the Victorian Labor government of failing to deliver a business case or feasibility study for the duplication of the line from Geelong to Warrnambool despite receiving $1 million from the Federal government.

    Duplication from Geelong to Warrnambool?  That was $1 million well spent!

    I'm hoping they mean duplication from Geelong to Waurn Ponds.

    Yes they accuse Labor failing to deliver a business case for feasibility study but they already put funding planning for it. Means all well they are not against it. Just be patient Liberals, they'll announce it good time, just like the Ballarat rail upgrade. At least Labor had the initiative to start Melbourne Metro project, wonder if they put any funding into that. What they did is said to put money replanning the project, then waste money into the station that would have a bad cost vs benefit ratio using money from the port sale which they owed via an agreement made through asset recycling and then Labor had enough of the excuses and fund the whole project themselves. Let's hope what they say they will do and not make promises they can't keep like this political airport rail line (don't believe them one second)
