Emma KEALY (Lowan) (12:59): I again raise the treacherous road conditions on Coleraine Hill and urge the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to prioritise the urgent repair of this section of road before a life is lost. Just six months ago the community was relieved that their advocacy to finally fix this road had paid off, with road repairs finally underway. However, the reduced speed limit signs are back up along sections of this new road, which has already broken up, and the section of road that has never been repaired, further up the hill, has further deteriorated into cavernous potholes. This is causing damage to vehicles, pushing up the cost of living for local people. Labor must reverse their cuts to the road asset management budget to fix our crumbling country roads and make them safe.
