never paid a citilink toll, won't pay the new toll.
bracks will lose seats over this because this was a phenominal backflip and a lie.
finally this is a BETTER deal than citilink, as Dandy/frankston road, springvale etc will not be vandalised as a consequence of this infrastructure.
There are plenty of alternative routes which WONT be affected.
Kennett wore a lot a crap for citilink as citilink had the right to ask the government and the taxpayer to PAY for the changes to footscray road (4 lanes to two lanes and a changed more awkward route through docklands), alexandria parade (2 lanes to 1 one), batman avenue (closed and a new batman avenue that was tolled), changes through ascot vale, flemington and racecourse as well as south melbourne being vandalised to make it harder to avoid the tolls.
Ie, this is a completely NEW piece of infrastructure, and the old infrastructure is STILL there to use.
the Citilink had some new infrastructure (domain and bolte bridge amongst others) but they merely expanded on existing infrastructure of the south eastern and tulla freeways, and got to toll for existing infrastructure which i disagree with).
I will travel extra time and extra KM to avoid the citilink and will do so for the bypass roads, i will never pay tolls.
If the bypass contract sabotages existing roads as kennett did, I will actively protest against bracks...
big diff b/w bracksy and kennetty
