advises:
It is pleasing that the Members opposite are finally recognising and acknowledging the work being done on the Coalfields Highway by this Liberal-National Government.
The Member's question is predicated on the fact that unlike the previous failed Labor Government, the current Liberal-National Government is actually funding and getting on with significant improvements to sections of the Coalfields Highway. Unfortunately the road was severely neglected. It is worth noting that apart from the current Government's $25m investment, the last upgrade works were undertaken by the former Court Liberal Government.
(a) The Liberal-National Government has committed about $25m to upgrades on the Coalfields Highway.
(b) No
(c) Not applicable
