Vic voters can choose economy or services VICTORIAN voters face a choice between a government pushing its financial credentials and an opposition promising better services. PREMIER Denis Napthine officially started the election campaign with a visit to Government House on Monday to deliver the writs, and immediately went on the front foot about the coalition's budget surplus. "Victorians will ask who they can trust - who they can trust to keep our finances in order," Dr Napthine told reporters. But Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews used his first day of the campaign to talk about improving ambulance services and hospitals. " (We need) the best schools, the best hospitals, an ambulance service that works," Mr Andrews said. Mr Andrews promised to "end the war" over a new pay deal for paramedics, and said people were waiting too long for ambulances to arrive. Dr Napthine said the coalition would improve public transport and roads, with billions of dollars earmarked for the East West Link stage one, new rail tunnels in Melbourne and a train line to the airport. Mr Andrews said Labor would remove 50 of the most dangerous level crossings around Melbourne to ease congestion and create 10,000 jobs. He refused to comment on Dr Napthine's attacks on the previous Labor government's ability to deliver major projects, which included controversial contracts for the myki transport cards and the Wonthaggi desalination plant. A Newspoll released on Monday shows Labor leads 54-46 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis, but neither leader wanted to be drawn on the numbers ahead of the November 29 election. "I've never taken anything for granted," Mr Andrews said. Dr Napthine brushed off Labor's criticism that he did not stand up enough to Prime Minister Tony Abbott. "I'll be running my campaign in my way," he said.
