It is noted that the Liberal-National Government has installed 41 flashing speed limit or electronic school zone signs in the past 2.5 years and will install a further 30 in the current financial year, compared to just a handful installed under the previous Labor Government. These numbers are a good indicator of the difference between the commitment to road safety by the Liberal-National Government versus the former Labor Government of which the Member was Minister.
