Benambra electorate roads

Bill TILLEY (Benambra) (09:51): With apologies to Lucky Starr and others, I have spent the winter recess on roads dodging potholes so deep that I lost a staff member in one.

I’ve been everywhere, man

The roads are beyond repair, man

I’ve been to Towong, Sandy Creek, Leneva

Allans Flat, Norong, Baranduda, Kergunyah, Mitta Mitta, Bullioh

Stanley, Walwa, Corryong, Chiltern

Shelley, Pine Mountain and Burrowye

Tallandoon, Bruarong, Dartmouth, Browns Plains and even Koetong

These roads could bring down King Kong, man

I’ve been everywhere, man

The potholes are so deep you can drown, man

You cut 25 per cent of the budget share, man

But cars are breaking down, man

Seeing a road crew is rare, man

I’ve been everywhere, man

I’ve been to Wahgunyah, Beechworth, Kiewa,

West Wodonga, Talgarno, Barnawartha, Gooramadda, Doolans Bend and even Thologolong

Rutherglen, Cudgewa, Bonegilla, Granya and Killara

Eskdale and Berringama, Gundowring, Tallandoon, Bandiana and Tallangatta

Biggara, Tangambalanga

Bethanga, what’s the matter, man?

I’ve been everywhere, man

I’d love the minister to visit, man

The roads up here are bare, man

She can breathe the mountain air, man

I’m happy to share, man

Please just show you care, man.
