There's $200 million through our Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program and $150 million through our road black-spot funding, targeting significant measures that do great work in our local communities. Last week, $3½ million in road safety upgrades were announced across Tassie. This includes $437,000 for a new roundabout in Devonport. These investments help communities right across the country. Our government is all about delivering programs, services and infrastructure that support local communities, because supporting local communities is something that this side of the House is all about. We won't rip money out of the local government sector like those opposite did the last time they were in government.
