The Prime Minister should stop fudging the figures and get on fixing southern Tasmania\u2019s traffic woes, starting with delivering on\u00a0the Airport Roundabout.
\nIn 2017, the Liberals promised the Airport Roundabout in Hobart would be finished next year.
\nInstead, Tasmanians stuck in airport traffic will be still waiting months before they see the first shovel in the ground.
\nWorse still, there is confusion about total funding for the Hobart-Sorell Corridor.
\nThere was $154 million promised for both the Hobart-Sorell Corridor and the Hobart Airport Roundabout but with blowouts to the Airport Roundabout there is now just $86m available for the rest of the Hobart-Sorell corridor.
\nWe also know from MYEFO that just $25.2 million of the Infrastructure Fast Track will flow to Tasmania this year \u2013 less than 15 percent of the Tasmanian package.
\nTasmanian locals as well as visitors deserve a plan on infrastructure and jobs from Scott Morrison.
\nThey deserve an answer on whether the Liberal Government will properly fund the over-run over the airport roundabout, and what that means for upgrades to the whole corridor.
\nIn addition \u2013 when will all this actually happen?
\nThis Government, now in its seventh year, is continuing to demonstrate it has no plan to boost jobs and no plan on the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
