Northern Metropolitan Region
Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:46): (83) My question is to the Treasurer in the other place. In four separate state and federal elections Labor have promised to build the Wallan diamond interchange onto the Hume at Watson Street in Wallan. This is a critical infrastructure project which will unlock traffic gridlock in Wallan. I note the former federal government’s $50 million budgeted towards this project. Given there is now no-one to blame – there is a Labor government in Canberra and on Spring Street – will the state government finally stop the blame game and stump up and commit the $130 million promised by both Labor and the coalition at the November election for the Wallan diamond interchange ramps in the upcoming state budget?
