    Much easier to win votes by turning Melbourne's middle suburbs into employment and transport 'hubs' with the SRL than to create opportunities 6 hours and hundreds of kilometres of tracks away with freight being part of the ticket sadly

    It's not all about 'winning votes', it's also about doing the right thing.

    As the Independent MP for Mildura advocated the return of a passenger train as a major part of her winning the electorate from the National party with more than an 8% swing, she has every right to advocate on behalf of her substantial community.
