Constituency questions
Rowville electorate
Rowville electorate
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:39): (1234) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. When will the minister and the Department of Transport and Planning fix the ongoing embarrassing fiasco of the traffic lights at the Henderson Road and Kelletts Road intersection in Rowville continuing to be powered by a diesel generator? It is now 88 weeks since the Leader of the Nationals and I spoke to journalist Sharnelle Vella, then at Channel 7, when it was first reported in December 2023 that a diesel generator was being used to power the traffic lights at the intersection. I just cannot believe how stupid this situation is. As the member for Gippsland South, the Leader of the Nationals, and I were explaining, the situation is that they went ahead and built a set of traffic lights at an intersection but forgot to connect the power to the traffic lights. How stupid can this stupid government possibly be?
