The only thing that seems to be different (Labor has ruled out a buy back of
the Public Transport) is the possible route for the Airport rail link.  The
suburbs through which it will go (one of which is mine) are mostly Labor
(Essendon etc.) so I dunno if Labor might choose another route?  Only thing
is that others are more expensive, even though they are not paying
(privately funded), this would have to be a consideration!
