MS RYAN (Euroa) — My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Constituents in my electorate have raised concerns about the government's decision to recklessly tear up the east–west link contract, costing Victorian taxpayers millions of dollars, and the subsequent Transurban proposal being considered by the government. I note that the RACV recently listed the completion of the Metropolitan Ring Road as its no. 1 priority. The project, which would link Greensborough to the Eastern Freeway and EastLink, has been on the drawing board since 1969. Given that the government is looking for new road projects, can the minister advise whether the government is considering options to complete the Metropolitan Ring Road?
