Basically you’ll pass on strict liability to maintain what? Your choice of colours? The lack of trust I can see, but this is hypothetical and as such the law WILL be introduced. No ifs, no buts. Are you still saying no, or introducing new obstructions?
If you're responding to me regarding lack of trust, it's hardly hypothetical. Rowville railway line? Doncaster railway line along the Eastern Fwy? If you dare (and can find it, I'll post a link later if I can), check out (I think) page 11 or 13 of the 1965 VicRoads freeway proposals. If even a quarter of it was done, we'd be far better off. But no. Let's bow down to property developers (And this has been going on for a LOT longer than even I realized but hey, I was born in 1973), build a bunch of ghettos (a nice enough name for what I truly think) and we'll promise to build all the infrastructure later on. NOT!
Do you even realize that ALL of the road projects they're promoting over in western side of Melbourne (Tarneit for example), should have been built BEFORE they built thousands of homes?
But no, let's close the gate after the horse has bolted. As long as the property developers (MP's friends and probably close family) get their share, who cares? Besides the poor plebs who have to live there? And the same thing will happen in Lilydale with Kinley. They simply couldn't give a stuff. Yarra Ranges local council, the Victorian State government and the Federal Australian Government.
Corrupt bastards the lot of 'em.
