Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:35): ‘Whatever, mate. Heard it all before. Believe it when I see it. Not in my lifetime. You’re all the same. Never keep your word.’ These are all things that people said about the McMahons Road–Burwood Highway project, and it is now officially open. This was long talked about by others, and only the Allan Labor government have gotten on and delivered this project on time. If you drive along Burwood Highway through Ferntree Gully, there is a new signalised intersection and there are four legs of pedestrian crossings – it is a thing of beauty – new lanes right around it and dedicated right-turning lanes. It is fantastic. Come on down. Check it out for yourself. Delivered, and it is only thanks to a Labor government.
