West Gate Tunnel

 John LISTER (Werribee) (10:32): Finally, on Sunday I joined thousands of other western suburbs locals to enjoy the new West Gate Tunnel on foot before it opens to cars. While it was not my best 8-k time, the surface was smooth and the vibes were, as they say, good. This project is a shining example of Labor’s commitment to building the infrastructure our growing community needs. While those opposite probably spent their Sunday counting the numbers, we were counting the smiles on people’s faces seeing this great project – that was so lame, sorry. It is another example of how we are on the side of people in the western suburbs.
