“Nine News has obtained damning evidence that the death of an 11 year old boy in a crash at Urunga could have been prevented. Documents show that the Federal Government rejected advice to upgrade the dangerous section of the Pacific Highway in favour of roadworks in the electorate of key Independent Rob Oakeshott.”
“The upgrade of the Nambucca Heads to Urunga section had been agreed between Ministers Albanese and Gay before they became aware of a news story on the issue which aired last night.”
“That upgrade project is the Oxley Highway. It has far less traffic yet work is already underway.”
“Funding the Oxley Highway, over and above the Pacific Highway which Mr Oakeshott has been mouthing about for years, is the greatest act of political bastardry that I've seen in my time as local member.”
