Rowville electorate infrastructure funding
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (13:23): Once again it seems I am forced to rise to speak in this place to condemn another federal Labor budget. Since being elected in 2022, the Albanese-led government has negligently ripped out over $600 million from the electorate of Rowville. Key infrastructure projects, Rowville rail and upgrades to dangerous main roads have all been axed by this federal Labor government. It was my hope and indeed the hope of many constituents that reside in the outer eastern metro that the Labor government would finally make right the funding that they have stolen, while the only thing Labor is committed to delivering for Rowville is actually budget cuts.
The last state budget saw Labor make no mention of any suburb contained in the electorate of Rowville, choosing instead to waste taxpayers money on infrastructure blowouts and the Premier’s Facebook page. Will the Treasurer finally include, just for a change, Rowville, Knoxfield, Scoresby, Lysterfield or Wantirna South in this year’s Labor budget?
