 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:55): We have heard about conspiracy theorists and we have heard about flat-earthers, but I could not believe it last week when Ms Terpstra outed herself as a pothole denier. So this week I have a question for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and do not worry, I have got proof about the query – not in the way of photos and videos and personal testimonials like last time but in terms of a petition this time. Parents in Tynong and Dandenong are now avoiding an intersection where Tynong Road meets the Princes Highway because of dangers posed by quarry trucks travelling at high speed. Here is the proof: locals gathered signatures of 3285 locals calling for the overpass. My question is: will the minister release the plan to make this section of the Princes Highway safe and explain how maintenance in the future will prevent vehicle damage and risk for local families?
