NSW Liberal Leader Mark Speakman has announced the Liberals will match Labor\u2019s commitment to complete the Tripoli Way Extension, saying only the Liberals have a proven record of delivering infrastructure for the Illawarra and South Coast.
\u201cOnce again, the Premier is making big promises before an election, and once again they\u2019re hollow. The people of Kiama deserve better,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
\u201cLabor acts as if they started government funding of the project \u2013 in fact the former Liberal Government had already put $16.6 million in the bank for it. We wouldn\u2019t have this project without the vision and commitment of the NSW Liberals.\u201d
\u201cLocals shouldn\u2019t reward Labor for their for last-minute election spin.\u201d
\u201cOnly the Liberals have delivered real results when it comes to roads and infrastructure. When last in government we delivered the duplication of the Princes Highway through the entire electorate to reduce commute times, boost productivity for business and improve safety for locals, as well as the Albion Park Rail by-pass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liberal for Kiama, Serena Copley, said Labor\u2019s delays have left locals frustrated.
\u201cThis is the same old story from Labor, they talk big before the election and fail deliver, Ms Copley said.
\u201cFor two years Labor ignored this project and ignored our region. Now, on the eve of a by-election, they expect locals to believe their empty promises. People can see straight through it.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019ve been demanding answers on these delays for two years, and Labor couldn\u2019t give us an honest one. That tells you everything you need to know about their commitment to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
