Potholes put in focus

The Guardian

YOU might remember the Men For All Seasons calendars that took the AFL world by storm?

As shadow minister for roads and road safety, I have been working on a 2025 calendar far less glamourous.

We are calling it Potholes For All Seasons and we need your help to highlight the worst roads throughout Victoria.

If you are passing by a pothole, pull over safely and take a photo or two.

Help us expose the dire state of our roads network by submitting the photos – the worst will play a starring role in the calendar.

Go to potholepics.com for full details on how to help us expose potholes in your area.

It is time the Allan Labor Government woke up and took the issue seriously.

There is no way to sugar-coat it and the Potholes for All Seasons calendar will show our crumbling roads, month-by-month in all their gruesome glory.
