 Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Will the government commit to an urgent pothole and maintenance blitz across the Euroa electorate before the busy Christmas and holiday period? Right across our region our roads are a disgrace. Victoria is in the middle of a road safety crisis created by the Allan Labor government, and despite the gaslighting that we just heard, Victorians know that our roads are dangerous. The Midland Highway, the Murchison-Violet Town Road, throughout Nagambie, the Euroa-Shepparton Road, the Seymour-Tooborac Road, the Goulburn Valley Highway and the Seymour-Avenel Road have become so unsafe to drive on. Drivers are swerving around potholes, shoulders are giving way and locals are reporting damage to their cars on roads that should be safe. With Christmas fast approaching, drivers, freight operators and emergency services need confidence that they can travel safely without putting themselves or others at risk. Every state-managed road in my electorate is slipping past the point of being car worthy and the government is forcing people into illegal driving behaviour. Locals are no longer driving on the left of the road; they are driving on what is left of the road.
