 Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:51): (2381) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Will the minister take urgent action to repair all damaged sections of the Murray Valley Highway? Despite announcing road repair blitzes in the last two budgets, the Allan Labor government has failed to significantly improve the state of the regional road network. RACV analysis of Australian road assessment program data has identified 52 dangerous highway sections. One of the worst in my electorate is the Murray Valley Highway, which is the key conduit for freight vehicles and tourists visiting the Murray. The minister must immediately order full repairs for all damaged sections of the highway. The RACV is now conducting its My Country Road survey, and I encourage all residents in Northern Victoria to fill in the survey and help identify the most damaged parts of our road network and what road sections must be prioritised for repair.
