(12-17-2023, 04:43 AM)madbluboy link Wrote:There was an article on the whole situation highlighting all the regions they targeted promising to build facilities for were close seats. They were going to build a brand new pool in a suburb near Geelong despite having an olympic standard pool in Geelong. The difference was they already held a massive double digit margin where the existing pool was but only about 3 percent where the new pool was going to be built. It was a sham, if you believe in 9/11 conspiracies then I think you could accept a government willing to blow money to stay in power.Again, not the point.
I remember the article.
I'm not saying there was no benefit to them initially. I'm saying that they were screwed no matter what.
If you make a promise to build something for a price and that price changes, you either break a promise on the price or you break a promise on of it gets built or not.
They are not the reason the price changed, but they will get hung one way or another for it.
Re: General Discussions - Lods - 12-17-2023
I live about 5 minutes from the proposed Olympic White Water canoe complex in Brisbane
Opinions are very divided,
The complex is to be built on ex-farm/bush land.
There has been ongoing discussion about how to use the land for some years.
Many folk favoured developing the land into a parkland/community gardens/market area.
These people are dead against it being used for sport.
It's a situation where the sporting option may not necessarily be the best political option.
Many people point to the somewhat white 'water' elephant built at Penrith for the Sydney games.
Me, I'm looking at how much I can make renting my place for the week in 2032
Re: General Discussions - madbluboy - 12-17-2023
During the election the Liberal Party said they will scrap the SRL and build hospitals instead. Dan Andrews said he would do both.
They're not building any hospitals, the SRL has been delayed because we're broke and Dan is trying to find somewhere to play golf.

MBB, That's at least 3 times you've failed to answer the question.
You'd make a good politician.

I'm a believer if you commit to something you follow through so a). Like I said though it was all an election sham.

Its one or the other.
You talk about our debt, but your choice is to go further into debt and for what.....the comm games?
Pass.

Check out ferntree gully, Wantirna, there is a new ten story building going up at Box Hill, and rumour has it, Maroondah hospital too.
The Eastern Health corridor is growing very quickly. The Northern has got some new facilities too.
There is no doubt that infrustructure is going up, the cost cutting is coming in various capacities too.
Re: General Discussions - LP - 12-18-2023
Yes, it's easy to remember the stuff that doesn't work and want to kick people, but have a look at the new Victorian Heart Hospital near Monash Uni. State of the art, announced in 2018 and opened in early 2023, that's not a trivial result across a pandemic.
So if I had to care about projects and timeline, I think the VHH was way more important than a road or train line.
Re: General Discussions - madbluboy - 12-18-2023
My mum had a minor procedure there and they nicked an artery in her groin on the way out and had to rush her to the Monash because they don't have a vascular team at the VHH.

Those are the types of things you want the government spending on, and not worrying about swimming pools in regional areas.
