Not giving them an A or better on Transport is just being a jerk. Three rail line projects completed, including the Airport train line. $5 fare caps to anywhere in Perth (including the airport). Train services to hundreds of thousands of new homes. And they're not done, yet. Armadale line works are going very well, and another two lines are in the works if they get re-elected. No government in WA's history has invested so much in transport, ever. Probably no state government in Australia's history, but I'm not certain.
And that's just the rail stuff. There's also the new Tonkin Hwy project. The Reid Hwy and the Mitchell Freeway. And Wilman Wadandi Highway was just opened on the weekend. They're still going with major road projects, also. Plus, no toll roads. Any other state would introduce tolls.
That grade is just scandalous, Prof. Newman. I honestly can't see how you can stand behind that.
