No where in that article did it say how much was spent on roads, only on road safety initiatives! I would love to know how much is spent on roads as opposed to how much they receive as well. Prove to us all what they actually do with the money, because don't we have a petrol excise as well for maintaining and replacing worn roads??

Hey those useless add campaigns cost money you know!!!

I think a large majority goes into "consolidated revenue" as far as I am aware and this just means it is re-distributed through various avenues, a synical person would say it is funneled into the fat superannuation packages of the equally fat accounts of our politicians, who sit on their equally fat behinds and thumb their snotty noses at the every day tax payer.

But Im not a synical person, no, I just live in Victoria, it's my birthright!!
