Middle East war impacting Melbourne public transport timetables: The link explained

0:00Almost $100 million will be invested in extra bus services, as part of the latest election year sweetener from the Alan government. But the public transport minister concedes Victorians will be waiting a while to hop on board. The public transport minister on board with a budget bus boost of just over $99 million. To enhance and upgrade bus routes. The government announced it to help families with Donald Trump's war driving up costs at home. At a time when we know many families are doing it tough. But those families will have to wait. None of the bus improvements will happen until next year at the earliest and be completed. She can't say when. It is very complex and detailed planning work. We do this as soon as we can. Some new bus services announced in last year's budget still haven't been delivered.

1:00We had a $160 million investment last year, many of which is coming online in Kareen coming weeks and months too. It's a gunner government that never actually delivers those services. As the state government tries to ease cost of living pressures for Victorians today, it also defended the massive pay packets revealed for some of its bureaucrats. One earns $834,000 a year well up on the premier's salary of $513,000.

But the shadow attorney general wouldn't say how the Liberal Party would fix it. We are going to provide the clear solution which we will do shortly and you won't have to wait very long at all, I can assure you of that.
