Labor Says Roads Funding Re-Announced In The Hunter

BY IAN CROUCH

The state government has been caught out re-announcing funding for a roads commitment made in the Hunter 4 years ago.

The Berejiklian government has announced $12 million will be spent to ease traffic congestion at two pinch points on the Pacific Highway at Northcott Drive, Adamstown Heights and Kahibah Road at Highfields.

However, Charlestown MP, Jodie Harrison says it's an exact repeat of a commitment made by former Premier Mike Baird in 2015 and there's not been a single shovel on site at either of these locations in 4 years.
