By your logic, Vline Freight are also firmly chained to the public pork
trough as they too use this line to run various freights during the week.
And I suppose that Bayside and Hillside Trains are also chained to the pork
trough as there is money for upgrading the Flinders Street viaduct. And
Vline Passenger - they use the viaduct too. And the NR Steel-link trains -
so the Feds are pork barrelling at Victorian taxpayer expense! And people
who use Springvale Road are chained to the trough as there is money to build
the Springvale bypass. As well as many other road users. As well as those
who use schools and hospitals and social services.
I mean, I never realised up until now that most Victorians under this budget
will be chained to the pork trough and using tax payers money for their own
ends as the Govt is finally spending money on so many areas. Thank you for
enlightening me to this fact. 8^)
