Constituency questions

Northern Metropolitan Region

Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:38): (143) My constituency question is to the Treasurer. In the Herald Sun this week we saw what can only be described as a hit list of federal government funding due to be withdrawn from Victorian infrastructure projects, including the Wallan ramps and the Mickleham Road project in my electorate. Given your government spent $1.7 million on an Our Fair Share advertising campaign during the 2019 federal election wanting more money from Canberra, I ask: what advocacy measures is the government planning against these Albanese cuts, or was its previous campaign more about petty political partisanship than actually fighting for Victorians?
