I live in Geelong and while I feel for the guys who worked at ford, it was right to stop giving taxpayer handouts to an unsustainable industry.
Secondly if the previous labor government didn't waste billions on myki and the desalination plant there'd be more money to give to the paramedics.
Every action has consequences, years of labor spending and waste is as much to blame for that.
I'm no expert about Melbourne traffic as my Melbourne travels are limited to mostly Etihad and MCG, but I have family and friends with political leanings on both sides, and live in various Melbourne suburbs both in the west and east. The overwhelming consensus is in favour of East west link.
My uncle is a chauffeur driver from Geelong/surfcoast and while a lot of his work is to the airport, he also traverses all parts of Melbourne and his vote for the coalition was purely based on his opinion of the dire need for East west link.

Try coming to live in the safest seat in Vic...well was til last night and see where 30 years of complacency gets you. ..poverty and the third highest level of adult unemployment and second highest youth in Australia.
Enjoy your football stadium by the way.
