My question is to the Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Minister Pulford. It follows another spate of accidents on the Black Spur Road in Murrindindi and the decision last week that VicRoads meet to ‘investigate potential safety improvements’ there. Minister, is it true that you and VicRoads had not even heard before last week that locals had resorted many months ago to opening a dedicated ‘Is the Spur open?’ Facebook page in order to alert one another to conditions on the road rather than rely on repeatedly inaccurate, out-of-date official information? Alternatively, if you were aware of this, why has it taken so long for the government to even investigate, let alone act upon, the very significant frustrations and safety concerns of users on the Black Spur?
