No Road Tunnel campaign now on Youtube

28-05-2008: The Greens have launched a campaign against the massive road tunnel proposed for Melbourne's inner north.

The Brumby government will decide whether they intend to proceed with the tunnel by the end of the year. The Greens' campaign aims to help the community express its opposition this economic, social and environmental mistake.

70,000 cars already come off the end of the Eastern freeway. The government's plan would make traffic 30% worse, and have a major impact on local liveability.

The Greens would put a train down the middle of the freeway and cut congestion by 20%.

Adam Bandt will run for Lord Mayor of Melbourne at the November 2008 local government elections. He says we're at a crossroads, and the choice is a car future, more traffic and more greenhouse gas or a clean, green, public transport future.

If elected, he intends to put on the Mayoral robes and chains and stand in front of the first tunnel bulldozer. We need urgent investment in public transport, instead of wasting money yet on another road tunnel. More info View the campaign video.
