 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:06): (2231) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A cafe owner from Rosebud contacted me about the dangerous condition of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, particularly between the Dromana overpass and the Mount Martha overpass near Martha Cove. A small business in Rosebud relies on the 8 million tourists that travel to the peninsula every year. He is concerned that the road conditions are affecting those numbers. During rainfall, water floods across sections of the freeway, hiding damaging potholes. Grass grows along the edges of the road and it attracts wildlife to the area. My question is: will the minister commit to repairing the damaged areas of road along here that have been caused by flooding and all of the potholes?
