A $1.4 billion promise to buy

40 new trains

for Melbourne spearheads Ted Baillieu's bid for election victory.

Mr Baillieu will release his trains plan as the centrepiece of the Coalition's official campaign launch in Melbourne today.

The trains would be built in Victoria

, creating hundreds of jobs.

"The Coalition's plan will fix the problems created by Labor's neglect of our train network ," he said.

"Our plan will relieve pressure on long-suffering commuters ... jammed in like sardines in cramped, unsafe and unreliable trains."

Nice round figure, Ted ?

Are the

38 new trains ordered by the Brumby Government

- and currently

under construction in Ballarat

- included in your figure, or

are we getting 78 new trains ?

Are you mad because Ted did this;

Two years and $6 million in taxpayer-funded ads later, the Brumby government's Victorian Transport Plan has been laid to rest by the new state government.

TWO years and

$6 million in taxpayer-funded ads later, the Brumby government's

Victorian Transport Plan has been laid to rest by the new state government.

The Baillieu government has shelved its predecessor's much-promoted strategy, which pledged a cavalcade of new transport projects - many of which were unfunded - worth $38 billion.

All of the major projects put forward in the plan, including a $5 billion metro rail tunnel from Footscray to Caulfield and a $4.3 billion rail line from the CBD to Werribee, are being re-evaluated.

The transport plan was launched by John Brumby with his public transport minister, Lynne Kosky, and then roads minister, Tim Pallas, in December 2008. It was followed by a $6.6 million advertising campaign featuring television ads that screened at least 2500 times, as well as radio, newspaper, online and outdoor billboard promotions.

Transport Minister Terry Mulder in opposition branded the ads ''electioneering'' and vowed to cut ad spending in the transport portfolio and put money into ''nuts and bolts business, not self-promotion''. Mr Mulder yesterday confirmed the government was reviewing all projects proposed in the Victorian Transport Plan.

His spokesman, Paul Price, said the projects would be reviewed by the soon-to-be-established Victorian Public Transport Development Authority, one of Premier Ted Baillieu's key election pledges.

Transport Department secretary Jim Betts has previously opposed a public transport authority, saying in June that existing arrangements sufficed.

Why the need for the ads, why not just get on with it if it was so special?

REPOST ...

The Victorian State Election was lost in the eastern suburbs - over the ongoing myki trouble and endless reliability issues with the Dandenong and Frankson (privatised) rail services - which are FAR worse than my younger days of getting a train in Clayton

The former is hopefully a hard lesson learned in the pitfalls of private/public partnerships

Prices cannot be "locked in"

A scenario that was ALSO realised with the re-vamp of Southern Cross railway station

The latter is an indication that the privatisation experiment has failed - and the Government should follow the example of London City Council and regain control

The Brumby Government CERTAINLY fell short in a few areas - but these don't necessarily need to overide the "bigger picture"

Quote:

Victoria leads states in jobs growth

Tim Colebatch
November 12, 2010

VICTORIA has added more jobs over the past four years than any other state, with 278,000 more people in work than at the time of the last state election.

Jobs figures released yesterday by the Bureau of Statistics show that Australia's buoyant jobs growth continued in October, with employers adding almost 30,000 jobs in seasonally adjusted terms.

On the more reliable trend figures used to analyse state data,

Victoria has added 95,000 jobs in the past year, with jobs growing 3.5 per cent in the state, compared with 3.2 per cent growth in the nation.

Over the past four years, the bureau reports that

Victoria has enjoyed the biggest jobs growth in the nation in absolute terms

, and the third fastest growth behind the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

''Victoria is Australia's jobs engine room,'' Treasurer John Lenders declared.

''Not only have we achieved the 150,000 jobs target promised at the last election, we have created 138,000 more jobs than promised and more than any other state.''

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/victoria-leads-states-in-jobs-growth-20101111-...

There's NO disputing THAT summing up

if a working class kid like me can pick up your errors, then you really are not all that special Buzz.

'Great white hope' is very much used in a racial context today and for the last 20 years.

Tommy Morrison was the 'Great white hope' = the chance to again see a white heavyweight champion of the world.

Alan Wells was a 'Great white hope' - the possibility of seeing a white man win the Olympics 100m sprint.

In politics in the south, the mayor races often have a Great white hope - meaning we see a white person running the city instead of the trend of colored American mayors etc.

I could go on and on - its a racial context.

In Australia,2011, it has NO MORE "racial context" than ...

"The pot calling the kettle black" or "the black-sheep" of the family

But as presenting things in a "racial context" seems to be YOUR field of expertise, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

Convenient change of SUBJECT, though

If is personal, because you are a person. there is ONE person on here who demands the use of large fonts every time. that is you. there is ONE person who posts every day more nonsense on the Vic Libs. Even with the crazies on here there is still only ONE poster who complains that a party breaks promises AND keeps them. It just never ends for you. All perspective and irrationality is gone. it is every day ALL DAY for you. just more hate and nonsense all because your beloved labor party lost an election fair and square.

its 55 pages now buzz. you've made your point ad nauseum. From here on in, it will only prove the point that you are a bad loser who cant move on. Im serious when I say that if you cant drop this and put some perspective into it that you risk some mental health issues. This is obsessive and you should perhaps go offfline for a while or take a holiday (outside victoria) and get your mojo back because whatever it is... you've lost it. Id prefer to debate with you from our former partisan positions. This is not partisan. this is obsessive.

2: his boyfriend left him.

3: the viagra don't work anymore.

4: country life doesn't suit him.

5: he is love with someone else and doesn't know how to tell his old lover.

6: he is going through the change of life. Well old women do that you know buzz.

7: he was in love with brumby.

8: someone took his coloured pencils at school.
