[AustralianSwingVoter]

To run in Utah until the election.

Ad: "Train Nerds"

EXT. DESERT – DAY

Score: The Old Train

Open on a dusty green-and-white SIGNPOST indicating a railway stop. The "station" is deserted — the small platform is occupied by a few tumbleweeds and a lizard. As the narration plays, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal miles of open desert in every direction.

AUSTRALIAN SWING VOTER (V.O.)
These are pointless routes that serve very small cities over very long distances and would be a massive waste of government spending.

NARRATOR (V.O)
So said Australian Swing Voter, the DA leader in parliament, about a plan to expand high speed rail last year. He also said:

AUSTRALIAN SWING VOTER (V.O.)
This game has too many NUMTOTs and Train Nerds who can't accept ... how weak of a business case it possesses.

The camera zooms out more to reveal the landscape is a framed picture hanging in a lavish boardroom, where several heavy balding men with gold watches are laughing and smoking cigars.

NARRATOR (V.O.)
Everyone wants better infrastructure. Not everyone understands how to get there.

The Labor party supports practical and effective infrastructure spending to get you the biggest bang for your buck.

FADE IN text:

VOTE FOR AMANDA YOUNG ON MAY 29.

Proud to be featured in an ad without realising it! (Also yes the DA proposal is incredibly dumb and has probably cost our chance of victory. Such is the cost of NUMTOTs and foaming Gunzels.)

Fact check: Plenty of track already exists in Utah, nobody is talking about high speed here, and rural communities do in fact use trains where available.

Ye-es, because building rail 60 miles to Kanab (population: 4,500) totally has a great return on investment for the Utah taxpayer. Especially considering that you either have to enter into costly negotiations with Arizona for right-of-way or build it across Zion National Park - the latter of which no one wants.

I quoted you in one of my speeches, too. Thank you for noticing us, senpai!
