It is my sad duty to report to this parliament that yet another life has been lost on the Dukes Highway in my electorate. For members’ interest, the Dukes Highway is the main road from Adelaide to Melbourne on the South Australian side of the border. It is easily the busiest road in South Australia. We are now averaging about 1½ deaths per month there. We need to spend more money. I got a commitment of $80 million which the new government has continued on with, allocating another $12 million, but we need to do more about the Dukes Highway.
