BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council Road Maintenance The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:44): Supplementary: can the minister assure the house that, when the final proceeds of MAC have gone into the recurrent budget, money will be made available equal to the amount MAC has been putting into particularly road shoulder initiatives in country South Australia? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety Road Maintenance The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:44): The government remains utterly committed to ensuring that programs like the ones that the honourable member just referred to in terms of shoulder sealing—which we know make a significant impact improving the safety of roads, because they minimise the likelihood of an accident taking place where an error of judgement has occurred on behalf of the driver, or a driver from another car—will continue to be funded by the state government. This is an important investment that we expect to continue to occur in due course, irrespective of what takes place regarding the MAC sale.
