 Josh BULL (Sunbury) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, what benefits and improvements can local Sunbury residents expect to see from an additional $300,000 provided in the 2025–26 state budget for local road maintenance projects? I take this opportunity to acknowledge the importance of this funding, but I also express my significant frustration, concern and disappointment at Hume City Council, who have let our community down by walking away from minor maintenance agreements. This action was taken without consultation with the community or with the local member. As a lifelong local that knows and understands the importance of our community and the importance of these works, I do take the opportunity to remind Hume City Council just how important this work is. I look forward to the minister’s response, and I acknowledge her support for the commitment of $300,000.

Bridget Vallence: I do have a point of order yet again, Speaker, on questions that are overdue by ministers and yet to be answered. I still have 13 overdue answers from the Treasurer: questions on notice 2421, 2512, 2777, 2853, 2854, 2855, 2856, 2857, 2858, 2859, 2860, 2861 and 2862. I have previously raised a point of order on these being overdue, and I would appreciate a response from the Treasurer for my constituents. Answers to questions that are overdue by the Minister for Government Services are questions on notice 2763, 2764, 2765 and 2776. Again, I would appreciate responses for my constituents.
