Former state Labor Minister Dr Julian Amos has become the latest person to publicly support the Tasmanian Liberals’ visionary plan for a four-land Midland Highway.
“a dual carriageway has to come if the population and motoring traffic is increasing” ( The Examiner, Monday 2 November)
As Chairman of the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania Mr Amos knows what we all know – safety on the road will be vastly improved with a four-lane highway, particularly with traffic freight volumes forecast to increase by 70 percent by 2030.
Mr Amos joins all the Midland Highway Mayors, the RACT, the Federal Coalition, and the Legislative Council in supporting our plan.
It seems the only people left in Tasmania who oppose it are Mr Bartlett and the Parliamentary Labor Party.
