Member for Northern Victoria Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell used the return to state parliament to highlight the poor condition of northern Victorian roads, this time referencing the dangerous Midland Highway, between Mooroopna and Elmore.

Ms Tyrrell said she experienced terrible condition of the highway first-hand land week travelling to the Elmore Field Days, where she “witnessed truck after truck swerve to miss the deep rutting and potholes, and cars thrown off course by the crumbling road surface.
“The condition of this road is putting the lives of my constituents in danger every day.”
She said the condition of the highway was unacceptable, with sections near Ardmona and Corop particularly dangerous, and called on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to order urgent repairs.
