Days before the federal election, the coalition has pledged support for the Australian Automobile Association’s (AAA) ‘My Safety Counts’ campaign, advocating for transparency in road funding. The AAA highlights that nearly 500,000 km of roads have been assessed for safety via the AusRAP system, yet ratings remain unpublished, leading to public scepticism about funding motivations. The campaign seeks to ensure road funding prioritises safety over political gain, with backing from various independent and minor party candidates.
