I refer to question without notice 1044, in which I asked for the dollar figure of the Main Roads overdue maintenance backlog as defined in the 2009 and 2016 Auditor General Reports, with the 2016 report quoting a $845 million figure, and I note the Minister's answer to a related question in question on notice 812 in which figures were asked for and provided on overdue work allocated yearly in the budget, and I ask: (a) using the definition of the "overdue maintenance backlog" as defined in the 2009 and 2016 Auditor General Reports, rather than a definition based on completion of budgeted year-on-year maintenance, what is the current Main Roads maintenance backlog in terms of: (i) total dollar value; and (ii) kilometres of road; and (b) what is the figure in (a) as of 30 June, for each year from 2017?
