Drivers on the Pacific Highway and the State’s other death trap highways would be the losers after it was revealed the Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport and Roads, David Borger, had been spending his time drafting press releases for local councillors on local parking meters in Sydney, Leader of the Nationals Andrew Stoner said today.

In Parliament today, Mr Stoner asked the Minister why he was wasting his time and Ministerial resources on minor local government issues instead of fixing the State’s highways, including the Pacific Highway.

The NSW Liberals & Nationals today determined to allow Members a conscience vote on the State Labor Government’s proposed legislation to establish a relationship register in New South Wales.
 
Attorney General, Hon John Hatzistergos MLC, announced on 23 February the State Labor Government’s intention to establish such a register.
 
In deciding to allow MPs a conscience vote, both party rooms noted the issue had been similarly dealt with when debated in Tasmania and Victoria.
