 Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (10:34): I again raise the disgraceful condition of state roads in the Mornington electorate under this Labor government. Many frustrated residents like Maria, a new resident of Mornington, have described our pothole-ridden roads as like ‘dodging landmines’. She mentioned Nepean Highway, the Esplanade and more as being not only hazardous but becoming deathtraps. Resident Tony also wrote to me about broken edges and potholes locally, which have already caused accidents. He noted the long-term lack of maintenance of roads. Locals are continually risking their safety and paying thousands in vehicle repairs, while the state government stays silent and reduces road maintenance funding. I call again on the Allan Labor government to take action urgently.
