Sir,

Whilst Triple As Eric Abetz, Kevin Andrews and Tony Abbott as outlined Who’s Who among Conservatives article by Andrew Tillett Financial Review 1-2nd July attacking Prime Minister Turnbull, he has stolen the march on them and not insulting the intelligence of our youth who are not beholden to either the Liberals, Labor or Greens.

The Herald Sun 27th.June front page $1.6 billion injection for nine regional lines. Faster trains to Ballarat, Gippsland & North East in Victoria.

Breakdown being Murray Basin Freight Rail $20m ,Shepparton$10m ,Bendigo Echuca $91m ,Northeast$140m, Ballarat $555.6m Airport Rail Planning $30m Warrnambool $114m, Surf Coast $110m , Gippsland $453m and Avon River Bridge Upgrade $95m.

The following day front page 28th June Prime Minister Turnbull made an exclusive statement “ A rail link to Melbourne Airport could be built without Victorian funding because the Turnbull Government is willing to explore all options to kickstart the project.

The Mayors of Brighton and Derwent Valley must be dismayed that they can not ensure there is a rail line incorporated into the proposed replacement of the Bridge Water Bridge and a committment for “ Light Rail “ from Brighton to C.B.D in Hobart by our state government .Prime Minister Turnbull is nation building in Victoria and also in New South Wales with second Airport at Badgery,s Creek for Sydney , are we suffering whilst the Triple A,s are conducting a “ Jihad “ on the P.M ?, remember Victoria at the last election cost Bill Shorten the Treasury Benches he lost a seat.

Blind Freddy can see the jobs it will create and win the minds of our young people, where is Rene Hidding our Infrastructure Minister ? , if the proposed Heyfield Timber is relocated from Victoria to Burnie by Hermal Group following buy out by Andrews Victorian Labor Government the North East Line that is likely to be pulled up for a bike trail is needed , it would be sacrilege , as timber could be railed from the depressed northeast and revitalise their economy and create business opportunities.
