NATIONAL ROAD SURVEY EXTENDED

The National Road Survey created to encourage road users to have their say on some of Australia’s worst roads has been extended to the end of September due to an active and growing participation by people across the country.

Launched in June, the survey has garnered thousands of responses from across the country as concerned road users nominate locations across the 880,000 km road network that pose serious safety and productivity issues.

“The survey extension will ensure more road users across Barker are able to shine a light on the appalling condition of our road network,” said Mr Pasin.

“With $27.9 billion worth of infrastructure projects cancelled, cut and delayed within the first two years of the Albanese Labor Government, this survey provides an opportunity to highlight the impact these cuts and delays are having at a local level.”

 “We all depend on Australia’s 880,000 kms of road networks they underpin almost every aspect of our lives, whether it’s getting to and from work, school or sport, or getting produce off the farm and to market.”

“Motorists are responsible for ensuring vehicles are registered, insured and roadworthy. In turn it’s only right that the taxes and charges paid should be re-invested in our land transport network to ensure our roads are car worthy and up to standard.”

“While it may be easy for decision makers in Canberra to cut and delay road funding to prop up the budget bottom line, we need the Albanese Labor Government to understand how these decisions are impacting road users locally,”

“Let’s send the Albanese Labor Government a strong message by ensuring roads in Barker are well represented in the survey results. Let’s send a message to fix our roads,” Mr Pasin said.
