East–west link

Mr ANGUS: I note that Infrastructure Australia’s current infrastructure priority list, released last week, once again nominated the east–west link as a high priority project for Victoria. Most Victorians agree with this report, and those living in the east certainly know that this is an absolute priority in order to address the dreadful traffic congestion at the city end of the Eastern Freeway. Having already wasted more than $1 billion not to build this essential road, I call on the Premier to now swallow his pride and get on with this vital piece of road infrastructure for Victoria.
