Vic election an infrastructure referendum

Politicians agree the Victorian election will be a choice between infrastructure projects.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Sunday described the election as a referendum on the East West Link.

"It is a referendum on the plan that this Premier has and no-one else has, to build a modern 21st century city with 21st century infrastructure," Mr Abbott said.

Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino said the prime minister was right about Victorians having a clear choice.

"There is a clear plan from the Labor party - the removal of 50 of our most dangerous and congested level crossings, getting along with the job of Melbourne metro.

"That's what Labor will be delivering."
