FLASHBACK: Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington on the Mundubbera-Durong Road before the last election … “We cannot afford another fatality on our roads” (Photo: Nanango Electorate Office)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 22, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington says there are many priorities for the Nanango electorate for 2019 but a main one she will be concentrating on will be roads.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters last week, Mrs Frecklington said\u00a0the State Government had stripped\u00a0about $400 million out of road funding for projects in the Wide Bay region over the past couple of years and this was “simply unacceptable”.<\/p>\n

“We have seen a terrible fatality on the Mundubbera-Durong Road just recently,” she said.<\/p>\n

“That is a road that we took to the last election with a $15 million package.<\/p>\n

“I will continue to hammer the Palaszczuk Government to remember roads – like the Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road, like the Mundubbera-Durong Road – because we cannot afford another fatality on our roads.”<\/p>\n

On a happier note, Mrs Frecklington said it would be a massive year for the South Burnett with big events scheduled including the Blackbutt Avocado Festival, Wine and Food in the Park and BaconFest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
