Gippsland South electorate
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:41): (572) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask the minister to fund a solution to the intersection in Leongatha known as ‘kamikaze corner’. This is a very, very dodgy intersection of the Strzelecki Highway, McCartin Street, Hughes Street and a number of different streets. It was part of the bypass originally for Bair Street in Leongatha, but it has become an absolute nightmare. It has been an issue that has been going for a long time now. I have had a significant number of signatures on petitions that I have tabled here in the Parliament, and yet now, nine years since it was first done, it continues to be an issue that people raise with me virtually daily when I am in Leongatha and surrounds. I ask the minister to provide funding to actually start to deliver a solution to this dodgy intersection.
