The Derrinallum Progress Association is calling on VicRoads to maintain and ensure the public safety of the Hamilton Hwy between Darlington, Derrinallum and Lismore. I tabled a petition in Parliament on their behalf today asking VicRoads and the Victorian State Labor Government to listen and to act.

I’ve just done my 100th listening post for the year, in Dunkeld. Thanks to everyone who came along to share their all-important feedback. This is what makes my listening posts such a success.
