Constituency questions

Rowville electorate


Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:35): (184) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, would it surprise you to learn that during the 59th and 60th parliaments I have raised the issue of road conditions in my electorate 44 times? In fact the only number larger is the 1571 constituents that have contacted my office to complain about the roads in their local community. Lysterfield, Wellington and Napoleon roads are dangerous and need to be fixed, and that is the end of the story. So my question is: when will the government announce a plan to fix the roads in the electorate of Rowville, when the Labor government has already slashed 25 per cent from the roads maintenance budget? You might have given up on fixing our roads, but the residents of Rowville and I have not, and we will continue fighting to have our roads repaired.
