Kim WELLS (Rowville) (10:00): When I saw the funding allocated for Wellington Road, I was in disbelief at how little they could allocate for such a crucial road; yet, as Labor continue to do, they have underwhelmed expectations. Napoleon Road has only been allocated a pathetic $445,000. In comparison, Labor spent more on one executive for the botched Commonwealth Games in one year than they would have allocated in nine years for Napoleon Road. Instead of doing what matters, Labor is barely doing what is expected. Of the $445,000 that has been allocated since 2014, Labor has only spent $198,000 on the road, not even managing to deliver half of the funding allocated. The Labor Party in Victoria is not the party that could but the party that could not – could not deliver the Commonwealth Games, could not deliver the airport rail loop, could not deliver local roads for locals.
