This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that affect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.

Obligatory:
Shared not to be smug, but to reinforce what is possible if a state government spends money on infrastructure. This line is new, it was completed two years ago. It tunnels a few kilometers under the river and established suburbs.
Melbourne can have this, too. The technology is easy enough. Yes, it is expensive.
Edit: Updated with car directions also, showing the train is the quickest way.
Oh we spend money on infra. We built a whole new metro tunnel! But putting fences around the lines to stop major disruptions? No can do bro.
Also the leaser of the the CROWN LAND of the airport wants to screw the taxpayer, and apparently we're just letting that happen like a bunch of suckers.
