Road maintenance
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (09:54): I want to talk about the state of our roads. I want to give one example of the constant situations we are facing in East Gippsland. We had a massive pothole about the size of a small car fixed on the Princes Highway, highway 1, outside Orbost. Two days later it was back in the same condition. We do not fix our roads properly. We need to start fixing our roads properly, but we know what the reason is: we have got a government that is broke and that has cut funding to roads. We need to reverse that and invest in our roads network not only in East Gippsland but throughout the state.
