Constituency questions

Berwick electorate


Berwick electorate

Brad BATTIN (Berwick) (14:39): (334) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, on O’Shea Road this year alone we have had tragically two deaths, one of Divya Bhatia and one of Anuruddha Priyankara. Both of these involved O’Shea Road, a new road in my electorate, and we have had issues with speed, lighting and traffic lights on this road since the upgrade has occurred. We have written to and asked questions of former ministers, including you. We want to find out if you pay attention to what is happening on this road, and we continue to get political responses in relation to me not supporting the upgrade of that road. Minister, I ask if we can take the politics out of this, please, and get the information that you have received in relation to safety issues on this road that could have prevented two deaths of people in my electorate. It is time that the Berwick electorate got the truth on what is happening on O’Shea Road.
