Fed: Choose the safe hands of Howard, Doyle

Victorian opposition leader ROBERT DOYLE says the federal election's a choice between
the safe hands of Prime Minister JOHN HOWARD and his unpredictable challenger.

Mr DOYLE says Mr HOWARD can be trusted to stay the course if he's re-elected.

He says a major issue for Victorian voters will be the BRACKS government's decision
to toll the proposed Mitcham-Frankston freeway -- also known as the Scoresby freeway.

Canberra's refused to pass on $445 million in federal funds for the road project since
the BRACKS government reneged on its pledge to build it without tolls.

Victoria's most marginal seat, Deakin, is also the region most affected by the proposed
tollway and the Liberals hold the seat by just 1.6 per cent.
