VicRoads in Crisis and the Privatization Debate | Melbourne News
Description
Victoria’s roads are crumbling—nearly half in poor condition, according to the Auditor-General. Former VicRoads staff blame privatization and cost-cutting for the decline, arguing private contractors prioritize profit over durability. Once renowned for quality, Victoria’s roads now feature endless potholes, damaging vehicles and frustrating drivers. WA’s reversal of privatization shows promise, sparking political debate ahead of the election. Both major parties are promising bold fixes: one vows to bring maintenance back in-house and double pothole repairs; the other offers massive funding and contract reviews. The road to recovery is now a key battleground.
