Liberal for Kiama
NSW Liberal Leader Mark Speakman has announced the Liberals will match Labor's commitment to complete the Tripoli Way Extension, saying only the Liberals have a proven record of delivering infrastructure for the Illawarra and South Coast.
"Once again, the Premier is making big promises before an election, and once again they're hollow. The people of Kiama deserve better," Mr Speakman said.
"Labor acts as if they started government funding of the project – in fact the former Liberal Government had already put $16.6 million in the bank for it. We wouldn't have this project without the vision and commitment of the NSW Liberals."
"Locals shouldn't reward Labor for their for last-minute election spin."
"Only the Liberals have delivered real results when it comes to roads and infrastructure. When last in government we delivered the duplication of the Princes Highway through the entire electorate to reduce commute times, boost productivity for business and improve safety for locals, as well as the Albion Park Rail by-pass."
Liberal for Kiama, Serena Copley, said Labor's delays have left locals frustrated.
"This is the same old story from Labor, they talk big before the election and fail deliver, Ms Copley said.
"For two years Labor ignored this project and ignored our region. Now, on the eve of a by-election, they expect locals to believe their empty promises. People can see straight through it."
"We've been demanding answers on these delays for two years, and Labor couldn't give us an honest one. That tells you everything you need to know about their commitment to our community."
