Dear Editor
Country Victorians don’t need a website to tell us regional and rural roads have been seriously neglected by the Andrews Government.
Labor recently announced a “˜bold plan’ for regional roads but instead of spending money fixing country roads Labor has spent money building a website and named it “˜country roads’.
The only “˜bold’ part of Labor’s plan is its absolute determination to ignore the needs of our country communities.
A website won’t fill a pothole.
And it doesn’t fix dangerous road edges.
Daniel Andrews is prepared to spend more than $1.3 billion not building a road in Melbourne but he won’t invest in fixing our country roads.
Daniel Andrews is a Premier for Melbourne not for all Victorians.
At the next election country Victorians will have a choice. More of Labor’s neglect or a Liberal Nationals government that will bring spending back to country Victoria.
