This is extraordinary. Mick Gatto, the man who almost certainly got away with murder that the chief commissioner banned from Crown Casino, leading our construction industry.

Labor need to go. State and federally. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

Despite the CFMEU being put into administration, the rot in the construction industry has not stopped - and a notorious underworld figure is allegedly at the heart of it. #60Mins

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

What a bunch of nitwits the people yell and screaming were too. This state is broke because of these projects and you're celebrating that?

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

Oh, and I've taken a long break off Twitter so didn't get a chance to tweet about the Metro Tunnel opening, but that was a waste as well as is the SRL. So destructive to the city too. @ThoseSkyrails

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

It's been a history making day for our city with the opening of the $15 billion Metro Tunnel after a decade of construction.

Thousands of excited Melburnians have taken up the offer of free travel, to be among the first to test out the new high-capacity trains and five sparkling new stations. @LauraTurner_7

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

3 of my family members were subbies. The big companies might use it, but you think they're paying those exorbitant tolls? No chance.

So destructive to the West too. My friend lost her house, which she loved, over this.

Yet another sign of how badly this state has been failed.

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Three years late, billions of dollars over budget, and a decade in the making, the West Gate Tunnel has finally opened to traffic. @rochelleebrown1

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

Never forget that this came about after paying a billion dollars to dump the East West Link. Which, would have been open by now.

Yet another Labor waste. What a different state we'd be if the Lib's had won power in 2014. @ThoseSkyrails

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Ten years, and more than ten billion dollars in the making, the West Gate Tunnel is open for paying drivers but not everyone gives the project a perfect ten.

Roadblocks came down on the mega project while most of us slept, with the first real test in tomorrow's morning peak. @rochelleebrown1

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

@KatyKray73 I'm shocked. Dutton was THE best immigration minister we've ever seen and I thought that, along with their campaign would count for something but clearly I was mistaken. Does make me worry for Victoria but hopefully Brad Battin can pull something out. If not, well...

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

I do want to record my thanks to Peter Dutton. He may not have ascended to Prime Minister but it should not be forgotten that he was one of if not the best immigration ministers this country has seen. Thank you for your service Peter. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Herald Sun @theheraldsun]

Ali France has taken the Queensland seat of Dickson, unseating Peter Dutton and decimating the Coalition's leadership. Before her historic win, she opened up on losing her son, losing her leg in an accident and on her political fight. > https://t.co/U9c5sA7DZG

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

Completely agree Neil. It makes me worry for Victoria next year. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Neil Mitchell @3AWNeilMitchell]

The liberal party is on life support: it needs urgent surgery. Brad Battin needs to begin that now if he has any hope in November next year.

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

I don't even know where to start.... @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Herald Sun @theheraldsun]

🗳️🚨 Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party have clinched the 2025 federal election!

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

Mira said in her ad "I remember when Albo promised to reduce power prices but they've skyrocketed". So do I.

Vote Liberal. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Kintsugi @4n0nuser]

Voted for this Bangalore gal.
#auspol #ausvotes @MiraDsilva_LIB

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

I agree completely. I'm pro unions, used to be a delegate, but they've been corrupt for years and Mick Gatto's involved. It needs to go. @ThoseSkyrails

[Fred Pawle @FredPawle]

“We will deregister the CFMEU and our country will be better for it.” - Peter Dutton. Hell yeah.

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

I'll never forget Darwin. Albanese couldn't wait to be out of there, whereas Dutton was on the ground. Dutton for PM. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Liberal Party @LiberalAus]

A leader is judged by how they treat those around them.

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

Good. Wish it had happened in 2022 but I hope it happens now. The more I hear of Peter Dutton, the more he sounds like an actual leader. HC @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Victoria's controversial Suburban Rail Loop has been dealt a new blow with Peter Dutton promising to cut off any funding for the project if he becomes PM. https://t.co/oaA674nRKk @rochelleebrown1 @telester @Riley7News #7NEWS

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

@7NewsMelbourne @rochelleebrown1 @telester @Riley7News Good. This was rushed in with no analysis by Dan Andrews to get his mates jobs.

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

So the election is called.

I really hope it goes against this guy on May 3rd but whichever way it goes, it's likely to be close.

And with that, I'm back until 2026. HC

@ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[Tracey @TraceyLee_07]

🚨BREAKING NEWS

The federal election has been called for the 3rd May 2025.

Australia is now in caretaker mode.

TBH hasn’t Australia been on LIFE SUPPORT mode since this guy took office?

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

This whole thing just emphasises to me yet again that we NEED the Liberal's, now more than ever. Dutton for PM and Battin for Premier. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[3AW Melbourne @3AW693]

Federal opposition leader Peter Dutton has stated how a government led by him would handle the CFMEU amid the latest allegations of corruption and violence.

FULL INTERVIEW 👉 https://t.co/FfCbTH4QJy

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

This should have come out in 2013. Had it come out then the Liberals may well have held office, we'd have the East West Link and be a MUCH better state. @KatyKray73 @ThoseSkyrails

[The Bike Boy Investigation @BikeBoyScandal]

🔴 Opposition Leader @BradBattinMP backs Ryan––pinned.
#BikeBoyScandal #AndrewsLies #JusticeForRyan #VicTruth

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

@theheraldsun Agreed. I really believe he will win now and I'm all for it. Hopefully Victoria will follow.

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

For one, they "won" this on preferences which shouldn't be allowed. It should be first past the post, which would mean Scott Morrison would still be Prime Minister right now.

But if this is any indication of the State/Federal Election, bring it on. @ThoseSkyrails @KatyKray73

[6 News Australia @6NewsAU]

#BREAKING 🚨 Victorian Labor has declared victory in the Werribee by-election, with John Lister elected to replace Tim Pallas

Labor has had a two-party-preferred swing of 10.2% but still won 50.7% against the Liberals – while both major parties have primary votes of around 29% (a 16% swing against Labor)

[Helen Costas @CostasHelen]

@RositaDaz48 @SarahMoloney36 @netz_melb @VictorianLabor Agree completely... was the same with Morrison in 22, he by rights should be PM right now.
