The SPEAKER: Member for Gippsland South and the Deputy Premier! The member for Gippsland South, without assistance.
Danny O’BRIEN: Thank you, Speaker. Victoria’s share of federal road funding is about half that of both New South Wales and Queensland. This is due to a lack of matching funds from the Andrews Labor government. Why has the minister failed to convince the Victorian Treasurer of the need for matching funds to fix Victoria’s roads?
Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Last week’s federal budget ripped $1.3 billion from Victoria’s road funding to June 2024. Why has the minister failed to secure Victoria’s fair share of road funding?
