 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:06): As Minister Shing just said, ‘Labor knows that time is money.’ Therefore my question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Due to your time blowouts on the Bald Hill Road upgrades, businesses are going broke. They have gone for months and months longer than they should have. They have absolutely lobbied the government for respite, and they have not received any. My question is: what compensation will you provide to these businesses who are going broke because of your project delays?

Sitting suspended 1:07 pm until 2:07 pm.
