“The mining tax is not going to contribute much to the funding of the Bruce Highway.”
4RO – 17 JULY 2012
“The Coalition would drastically increase funding to improve the Bruce Highway…”
ABC SUNSHINE & COOLOOLA – 17 JULY 2012
“Under the funding formula the Commonwealth would normally be expected to provide four dollars for each one provided by the state so that means potentially $5 billion extra for the Bruce Highway over the next 10 years.
“We need more passing lanes, we need a higher quality surface and in some places we’ll need longer periods of four-laning, city bypasses and the like…”
ABC NORTH QUEENSLAND – 18 JULY 2012
“[Fixing the Highway] is going to mean billions of dollars’ worth of expenditure and we need to be ready to make that kind of commitment.”
MORNING BULLETIN (ROCKHAMPTON) – 18 JULY 2012
“My commitment is that we will do what it takes to fix the Bruce – and that means projects to fix these problems within 12 months of the election of an Abbott/Truss Federal government.”
TOWNSVILLE BULLETIN – 18 JULY 2012
“…we think this (fixing the Bruce) is a priority and it’s something we’re determined to fund the necessary money to fund.”
ABC CAPRICORNIA – 19 JULY 2012
“You know, they’ve allocated almost $4 billion to the Pacific Highway… So, when that bucket of money is topped up again … in 2014, it will have to be the Bruce Highway’s turn to get a fair share out of that.
“In 2014, I would expect that from then on for a number of years we will see the Bruce Highway getting the lion’s share of [Federal road] funding.”
