Victorian State Election

[kruddler]

Proff i live in Greensborough and i agree that it would be better to go through lower plenty linking up with EarthLink at Springvale road, but I've been very interested and have seen the costing estimates.

They've gone with the cheapest option which ties into proposed eastern freeway upgrades.

I have been to as many of the consultations as possible and i think theyve used them as checkboxes rather than actual consultation.

Im not sure if any other option would be much different to be honest.

I'm in south morang and i think the route they chose was bollocks.

Do you remember the 4 routes?

a - chosen.
d - via kangaroo ground (too far out)
b and c - basically identical, the most obvious routes, slight variations between them.

So people vote, and i assume, most voted for either b or c. However, because they are so similar there is little to distinguish the 2, so one of the others gets majority by default.
In reality, it was the 3rd option.
