No outrage from PM over East West: Bowen

Labor says the Abbott government should stop reacting with outrage to the Victorian government's scrapping of East West Link.

The Abbott government should stop reacting with outrage to the Victorian government's efforts to keep its election promise to scrap East West Link, Labor says.

There are reports $1.5 billion in federal funding could be withdrawn from Victoria as it was committed to the now-scrapped tollway.

"The government of Victoria was elected with a mandate to take certain actions and the prime minister seems outraged that they have taken those actions," Opposition treasury spokesman Chris Bowen told reporters in Melbourne on Wednesday.
