Today I have given notice of a Private Members Motion condemning the Abbott Government’s decision to axe the Local Roads Supplementary Funding Program in South Australia and calling for the decision to be reversed.
South Australian councils will lose $18 million as a result of the cuts, on top of $104 million already slashed from South Australia council budgets after Mr Abbott froze indexation of Financial Assistance Grants to councils.
The Local Government Association of South Australia has described the severity of cuts to supplementary road funding, which only affect South Australia, as “genuinely shocking”.
