McKENZIE (—) (): I did come in for two questions, but thank you, Minister, for your openness. Looking at Victoria, I know in the Western District a local member had a farmer who has a photo of somebody with a sinkhole in his local road up to his hip. We've got the Rutherglen situation of our local roads, and no matter where we go across regional Victoria, whether they've been flood-impacted or indeed just subjected to the torrential rains over probably the last 12 to 18 months, there's significant degradation of our local roads. Has the Victorian government requested the betterment stream, as have Queensland and New South Wales, for these rain events and roads?
