Northern Victoria Region
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:47): (304) My question is for the minister representing the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Since the withdrawal of the government’s commitment to the Commonwealth Games, constituents from regional centres that were to benefit, like Shepparton, Wangaratta and Bendigo, are reaching out to see that the previously committed funding is diverted to where it is most needed. Noting the halving of road maintenance funding in the recent state budget, is the minister advocating for some of this funding that is no longer required to be rerouted to road maintenance, where it is desperately needed?
