As I say, we will now honour our election commitment to provide $2.2 billion towards the Suburban Rail Loop east, which was yet again endorsed by Victorians on the weekend. But it's not just urban Victorians who will benefit from this project; regional Victorians, from Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley, will benefit, gaining fast access to Monash University and to Monash Health, including the Children's Hospital, all without having to go into central Melbourne, saving an hour of travel. This is an important project, and yet again Victorians have endorsed it.
