I just hope people will fight with their vote and vote against labor which has promised us a line for some 20 odd years and we are still waiting, it would be nice to see Melton swing at the next state election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290311875295576357.post-20225705199176199912008-09-26T19:19:00.000+10:002008-09-26T19:19:00.000+10:00I would hazard a guess that outer-Melbournians wou...<B>I would hazard a guess that outer-Melbournians would be unfamiliar with public transport and would therefore demonstrate some consternation. <BR/><BR/>I also think you'll find some Sydneysiders enraptured by our public transport.

The sense of hopelessness that people from, say, Caroline Springs feel should not be used as an excuse for complacency, nor an excuse for 'giving up'. Lynne Kosky (in all her 'wisdom') might consider a happy Sydneysider as a legitimate enough excuse to resume her current activity of doing nothing.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
