Blatant bid for Victorian votes as our roads deteriorate

Taxpayers all over the country will pay for this road if the coalition is re-elected, just so they can try to hang onto some seats.

THE Liberal National Party Federal Government now want to give billions of dollars to build a motorway in Melbourne that their government does not even want.

Victoria may get a new multi-billion dollar road without one cent of their state taxpayers' money being paid.

Taxpayers all over the country will pay for this road if the coalition is re-elected, just so they can try to hang onto some seats.

If you have not travelled the Bruce Highway up north recently and over the years, you have got to wonder about this government's priorities.

No wonder this lot doubled national debt, they can't manage the economy, they can't manage themselves and with record numbers of illegal arrivals into Australian airports, they cannot manage border security either.
