Bracks Listens, Denies, Does It Anyway?
Brackswatch received the following submission from a member of the public:Some weeks ago when the Opposition suggested rail cars parks would become fee paying there where immediate denials from the Bracks government.
Seems however that exactly such a development may now be in the works for after the November election.
You will find this in the Connex contract via www.contracts.vic.gov.au

I'd be quite happy to pay $2 a day if they upgraded seceurity and there was a pretty good chance my car would be there when I got back.
Where's your whinging now?
How about renaming your blog, "keeping Steve accountable till 2014'. That should keep you busy.
Another smashing, couldn't even comfortably carry the Liberal tollway seats.
Go Steve.
Just wonderful – Another four years for this do nothing government. Unbelievable.
We desperately need more dams and roads but all this pathetic lot do is talk about it.
I notice the government paid advertising is back on the radio full bore again. Last year they spent something like $290 million on that crap.
I guess the high country people really appreciate Brack’s banning the maintain cattle men now.
The extra fuel load in the bush the cattle would have eaten is helping them keep there mind off not having much water or the fact Brack’s lot are releasing lots of it into rivers to keep the greenies happy.
Still there is one ray of sun shine in all of this I can say “Don’t blame me I voted for Ted for the next four years” assuming I don’t move North and escape. :-)
