Rail promises off track: MPs

07 Oct, 2009 04:00 AM
IT'S no cause for celebration, but two state Liberal MPs last week displayed a cake to mark 10 years since Labor promised, during its 1999 election campaign, a Rowville rail feasibility study.

Warning voters not to believe the State Government if it renewed the promise in the lead-up to next year's election,

Ferntree Gully MP Nick Wakeling said the community clearly believed the Government had turned its back on them.

"Even if the Government came out now and said, 'We will deliver on the feasibility study', no one in the community will believe them."

Scoresby MP and shadow treasurer Kim Wells said the Liberal Party would commit at least $2 million to the study if it won the 2010 election.
