The Australian is supposedly News Corporation’s flagship newspaper dedicated to that matters to all of Australia, and this is a blog run by a guy obsessed with trains – you’ve gotta admit, there’s a story behind their obsession.

It is funny to write a blog post which heavily quotes information from The Australian’s coverage of the Level Crossing Removal Project and then in the next breath complain that The Australian has been excessively covering the Level Crossing Removal Project.

In reply to indigohex3. What about the fact that Dan has no idea how to manage money. It's not Victoria's big build anymore, its Dan's big bill. This project along was $200m over budget and you'll never hear Jacinta Allen or Dan talk about that. Airport rail is gone, suburban rail loop will be slowed and level crossings will dry up in a couple years. Leave infrastructure decisions to the independent Infrastructure Victoria

In reply to indigohex3. If you are wondering, Marcus had an article on Surrey Hills level crossing and attempts to remove it a few years ago. It should be in the "related articles" section at the bottom of the main text.

What about the recent State Budget in which the Murdoch garbage decided to attack Andrews in regards to forcing private schools (which are attended by mostly well-off students and old money) to pay payroll tax, while government schools (attended by the not so well-off) already pay payroll tax? And would this story get any space if Victoria had a Liberal government and they were removing these level crossings? Probably not.

It should be noted that Murdoch has it in for Andrews since COVID-19, trying to destroy him, but fortunately the people of Victoria are waking up to the poison that Murdoch has in his “newspapers”. For the record, I tend to avoid Murdoch.
