 Mr BURGESS (Hastings) (09:44): Labor just cannot be trusted, and it certainly cannot be trusted when it comes to delivering important community projects. This government has been caught out again misleading the community after making a complete mess of the $63 million Young Street works in Frankston, taking 18 months to complete a project that it promised would take 13 weeks, driving many businesses out of business and not even leaving enough space for our all-important buses. VicRoads acknowledged to local traders that they were back fixing the mistakes from the previous work. But of course Labor could not lie straight in bed, and instead of putting its hand up and admitting its mistakes it issued press releases claiming this was work on a brand-new project. The community deserves better, but dishonesty is in Labor’s DNA.
