 Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (16:47): It is becoming clear that the government has run out of money, and this is having a real impact on regional communities. Every day my office is contacted about the state of our roads in Narracan. We have had it confirmed via the budget that road funding has been cut. Labor MPs might want to argue that, but I can tell you, if you leave Melbourne you will see it on every street across every region. The government must take action on our regional roads and upgrade them as soon as they possibly can. My suggestion to the government is: if you are going to do some major infrastructure work on roads in my electorate, use the AWU, not the CFMEU, because you will probably save about 30 per cent.
