Only Labor Will Make Our Trains, Trams And Buses Here
We must build the public transport our state needs here.
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will put local workers first with a Make It Here Guarantee.
Victoria is already leading the way.
We’re the only state that builds our trains, trams and buses here.
We’ve invested in 226 new trains, 150 new trams and hundreds of new buses.
Making them here in Victoria supports 10,000 Victorian jobs.
The industry is just another thing the Liberals will cut with their plan to move train manufacturing to Spain.
Victoria leads the way
Currently, we have a minimum local content target.
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will require every future train, tram and bus procurement to meet that target.
That’s a minimum of 50 per cent local content – and we can exceed it.
That’s our Make It Here Guarantee.
Locking in that commitment means Victorian manufacturers can keep investing, growing and creating skilled local jobs.
Liberals will cut it
Jess Wilson’s Liberal-One Nation Coalition wants our trains made in Spain.
That's 10,000 Victorian jobs that risk being sent overseas.
Keeping those jobs in Victoria is a choice.
Only Labor is choosing local workers.
