Mr.cruel440, NE Victoria was better served by steam powered trains 60 years ago that it is by the tired old diesel-electrics that constantly break down and have to be replaced on a daily basis by buses today.

John Howard's era of gross neglect of public infrastructure has left Australia with unproductive, colonial era transportation and water supply systems that are strangling our competitiveness and productivity.

Putting all of that money in the Future Fund which even invested it overseas instead of at home; deprived Australia of fast rail, urban metro systems, the NBN and decent public school infrastructure.

Abbott's despotic and backward-retreating regime has exacerbated Howard's rust-bucket era and now leaves us struggling to address issues such as an overly expensive NBN that's already obsolete.

We have that idiot Emperor Barnett allowing the desecraton of the Wheatbelt Rail System. Yet another example of Private Enterprise picking the eyes out of OUR infrastructure and then neglecting what is superfluous to their
maximum profit generating needs.
