Victoria’s health system is in crisis and must be fixed. And because we are heading for record debt of $170bn, as interest rates rise, the Liberals and Nationals will shelve Labor’s proposed $34.5bn rail line from Cheltenham to Box Hill. All savings will be redirected to the health system.

This is the choice Victorians face as they head to the polls in November: fix the health crisis now, or build a rail line through some of Melbourne’s south-eastern and eastern suburbs in 13 years.
