Prison labour plan to fix Victoria’s crumbling roads
Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has announced plans to use low-level prison labour to repair the state’s deteriorating roads as part of a $352 million road safety initiative. The proposal includes bringing road maintenance under government control and reviewing the compensation scheme for drivers claiming pothole damage. Meanwhile, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson campaigned in regional Gippsland, pledging to extend coal-fired power stations beyond 2035 and develop gas reserves in Gippsland and the Otway Basin. #VictorianPolitics #BenCarroll #PaulineHanson
