Regional Victorians deserve safe roads. While roads across Wannon and rural Victoria are left crumbling, the Albanese Labor Government has cut more than $80 million from south-west roads.
At the same time, the Albanese Government has committed $2.2 billion to the Melbourne Suburban Rail Loop, a project that has no business case and which will drive the Victorian Labor Government further into debt.
The Albanese Government has its priorities wrong.
Roads are a lifeline for regional communities—essential for connecting families, supporting businesses, and ensuring safe, accessible travel.
The tragic reality is that more than half of Victoria’s road fatalities occur on rural roads, with nearly 300 lives lost last year alone.
In signing this petition, we urge the Federal Government to immediately restore funding stripped from south-west roads, and invest in the Victorian road network to stop the further deterioration of our roads.
For regional Victorians, the priorities are clear: We need the focus to be on safer roads and stronger communities.
Sign my petition to call for more funding for safer roads.
