 Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (14:45): (2340) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Will the minister instruct Regional Roads Victoria to fix the dangerous potholes on Echuca Road near the Lancaster turn-off? A constituent contacted me to say the state of Victoria’s roads are a national disgrace, and I completely agree. He drives along the Mooroopna to Echuca road every day, and the road surface near the Lancaster turn-off is getting worse and worse, with crumbling edges and dangerous potholes getting bigger by the day. There are paint markings around the potholes waiting for repair that have worn off and been repainted three times in the last 18 months, and no repairs have been done. The road is crumbling, but the Allan Labor government does not care. Road users have installed their own warning signs to alert other drivers to the dangerous road conditions. The minister must invest in the regional road network that connects our state and repair Echuca Road immediately.
