    Geez! Soon we will be trading our big muddies for low profile roadies to go high country bashing. What next? How about spending that money on roads that actually need fixing is my first thought.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Thems with money in their eyes can’t see anything more than $’s.
    OUR HERITAGE, the country that is OURS, is being stolen from us right across the continent...... legally!
    The profit makers don’t care that they leave a wasteland in their wake, just so long as their pockets are bulging.
    Who the hell votes for these morons & their puppet masters? Someone does. I guess they hope their own pockets might get a little. Short sighted eh?
    Federal or State - the right wing agenda is the same.

    for what its worth the Tullamarine freeway was paid for when finished in 1972 , I refuse to pay tolls on any of our road systems.
    As for the Alpine way its only $$$ driving it and but personally cant see how or where funding would come from, Not that many go Skiing and 4x4ing
    for that matter, yes it will boost tourism, but I cant see it being a winner, once ppl vote it will be swept under the carpet.
    Or bring in Clive Palmer I say lol
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
