Shorten must have a money tree...
First he pledges 300 million to Vic Rail...
Then its 600 million...
Today its 10 billion....
I would be excused for saying "please explain..."

And Morrison pledges 2 billion for a fast train to Geelong....why...whats at freakin Geelong......nothing...

I stand corrected...apparently Geelong has more than a footie team...is going gangbusters in many areas....

Sportsbet, who have seen a similar PR stunt backfire.

In 2011, the online bookmaker declared that Carlton midfielder Chris Judd was such a certainty to walk away with the Brownlow Medal, they paid out punters more than $300,000 before the votes were even read out.

“We’re certain we’d be paying out on Juddy on Brownlow night as it is so punters might as well enjoy their cash early. They have had their money tied up for a long time so this is a service to them” Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane said at the time.

The only problem? Judd didn’t win.

He didn’t even come close.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
