My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. The Victor Harbor-Goolwa region is the third largest significant urban area in South Australia. Victor Harbor Road, which has one of the highest rates of vehicle crashes, is in urgent need of an upgrade to double lanes. According to the RAA, between 2012 and 2016 there was a 34 per cent increase in traffic and 43 people were killed or seriously injured—one casualty every year for every five kilometres of road. SA Best is committed to upgrading this road. Regardless of who forms government at the next SA election, will the federal government commit to contributing funding to the much-needed upgrade of the Victor Harbor Road?
