THE HON ALAN TUDGE MP MINISTER FOR CITIES, URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND POPULATION JANE HUME SENATOR FOR VICTORIA JASON WOOD MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR LA TROBE $109 MILLION FOR BUSTING CONGESTION ACROSS MELBOURNE Four new, congestion busting projects across Melbourne totaling $109 million have been given the green light under the Morrison Government’s Urban Congestion Fund. Motorists in the west will be getting home sooner and safer with a $50 million overhaul of the Western Freeway between M80 Ring Road and Ferris Road. Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge said the Western Freeway upgrade was another integral addition to the $500 million package of improvements already underway for the M80 Ring Road. “This is a crucial arterial in and out of the city, and these improvements will mean a smoother, quicker and easier trip for people travelling it every day,” Mr Tudge said. “People are sick of being stuck in traffic, they want to spend time doing what’s important to them, and these projects will help make that happen.” Senator for Victoria Jane Hume said the announcement of the projects took the total commitment from the Urban Congestion Fund in Melbourne to $520.3 million. “Under a Morrison Government, all across this great city, we will see game-changing infrastructure that will benefit everyone, no matter where they live,” Senator Hume said. In addition, a $40 million upgrade to the Clyde Road intersection along the Monash Freeway has been locked in – meaning drastically improved access for motorists on and off the freeway. Included in the work will be the addition of a dedicated cycling lane over the Monash Freeway. This will be complemented by an additional $10 million upgrade to the Clyde Road intersection at Kangan Drive, to improve safety and reduce congestion for the thousands of travelers who pass through the intersection daily. Member for La Trobe Jason Woods said Clyde Road is currently used by tens of thousands of vehicle a day – with that number predicted to grow. “This is one of the fastest growing corridors in the country and we need this investment in order to make sure people can get the most out of each and every day,” Mr Woods said. A further $9 million will go towards upgrades at each end of Henderson Road – at Kellett’s Road in Rowville and Ferntree Gully Road in Knoxfield. Both intersections will be reconfigured while the Kellett’s Road upgrade includes the inclusion of traffic lights. The funding will also support the Henderson Road Bridge Project, which is currently under construction. The projects are in addition to the more than $27 billion record investment committed to road and rail infrastructure across Victoria. This includes $5 billion for the Melbourne Airport Rail Link and $2 billion for Fast Rail for Melbourne to Geelong. 18 April 2019 Media Contact: Coalition Campaign Headquarters: T: (07) 3557 7533 / E: [email protected] Authorised by A.

Steven Marshall MP Premier of South Australia The Hon. Alan Tudge MP Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure The Hon. Stephan Knoll MP Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government Minister for Planning JOINT MEDIA RELEASE Monday 18 November 2019 FASTER DELIVERY OF ROAD AND RAIL PROJECTS TO BOOST SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S ECONOMY The South Australian economy will be boosted by a $415 million infrastructure package to bust congestion and make regional roads safer. The Morrison Government has been working with states and territories to bring forward critical road projects across Australia to drive jobs, strengthen the economy and get people home sooner and safer. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the South Australian package included the acceleration of more than $328 million in federal funding across six projects. “By bringing forward these important road projects we will drive jobs, boost the economy and make roads safer, while reducing travel times so people can be with their families instead of being stuck in traffic,” the Prime Minister said. “Delivering critical road projects sooner, as part of our $100 billion pipeline, is responsible and considered economic management, in stark contrast to Labor’s daily calls of panic and crisis in their attempt to blow the Budget. “In South Australia we will provide additional funding for the Darlington Upgrade and Flinders Link Projects as part of Adelaide's North-South Corridor, while bringing forward funding for the Eyre Highway and Eyre Peninsula and Horrocks Highway corridors, Victor Harbor Road duplication and a major rural roads upgrade.” South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said South Australians would continue to reap the benefits of a constructive working relationship with the Morrison Government.

Alan Tudge's Contempt Seems to Know No Bounds. Why Is He Still a Minister?
Alan Tudge’s contempt seems to know no bounds. Why is he still a minister? Scott Morrison has not said a word about why he is maintaining in his cabinet a minister so disgraced. That, too, is a disgrace. MICHAEL BRADLEY OCT 08, 2020 It is fair to conclude that acting Immigration Minister Alan Tudge has a deep contempt for the law. What else could motivate him, when the Federal Court has just declared in explicit terms that he committed one form of contempt (wilful disobedience of court orders), to just double down on what the court may see as another — the one it calls “scandalising the court”? Bear in mind that Tudge’s original contempt was a triple: he refused to comply with an order by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to release a man from immigration detention, and then ignored orders by two Federal Court judges before finally relenting after five days of maintaining an imprisonment that was completely illegal. Justice Geoffrey Flick of the Federal Court called Tudge’s conduct “disgraceful” and “criminal”, noting that it exposed him to “civil and potentially criminal sanctions, not limited to a proceeding for contempt”. That was a couple of weeks ago; Tudge has not resigned or been sacked. Instead he has been layering on the contempt, telling the ABC that Flick’s findings were “comments by a particular judge, which I strongly reject … We’re looking at our appeal rights, presently.” This seems to be the law according to Tudge: sort of an opt-in thing. As his lawyers had unsuccessfully argued to several judges, his reason for ignoring the AAT’s original order was that he disagreed with it, intended to appeal it and therefore didn’t really need to comply with it.

Politician, Dob in Thyself: Christian Porter's Batshit Crazy Idea to Tackle
Politician, dob in thyself: Christian Porter’s batshit crazy idea to tackle federal corruption Standing next to any state anti-corruption body, the powers and reach of the federal government's proposed Commonwealth Integrity Commission are deeply, deeply embarrassing. The Morrison government’s 363-page draft law to create a Commonwealth Integrity Commission (CIC) is finally out, almost a year after Attorney-General Christian Porter received it from his department. Must’ve been a lot of typos. Porter also announced there would be a leisurely six months of consultations on the bill, ostensibly because it’s all so hard, kicking the can so far down the road that it’s unlikely to turn into an actual law before the next election. One really gets a sense of urgency from the government on this. The draft bill is massive, but let’s apply a simple test to its provisions — how, if at all, would it deal with these random specks of federal dirt: Angus Taylor and the allegedly doctored Sydney Council document Bridget McKenzie and the sports rorts affair Alan Tudge’s imprisonment of an asylum seeker in defiance of court orders (And if she’d been a federal minister) Gladys Berejiklian’s non-intimate relationship with Daryl Maguire. The first question is how an allegation of corrupt conduct can get in front of the CIC. Well, when the person who committed that conduct is a member of federal Parliament, the only person who has the legal power to refer the allegation to the CIC is — wait for it — that member of parliament.

Even serious journalists began referring to the national legislature metaphorically as the “monkey house” to encapsulate the farcical behaviour they were obliged to report. With Tony Abbott being pre-emptively ousted from the prime ministership by Malcolm Turnbull in 2015, Turnbull himself was, in turn, unceremoniously usurped in bizarre circumstances in August 2018, handing over the leadership to his slightly bemused Treasurer Scott Morrison. Suddenly, Australia was being branded as the notorious “coup capital of the Western democracies”, with five prime ministers in five years and only one losing the high office at a general election.

Children Aged 12 to 15 Years Now Eligible for Covid-19 Vaccine
The Hon. Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister The Hon. Greg Hunt MP Minister for Health and Aged Care The Hon. Alan Tudge MP Minister for Education and Youth JOINT MEDIA RELEASE Friday 27 August 2021 CHILDREN AGED 12 TO 15 YEARS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR COVID-19 VACCINE Children aged between 12 and 15 years will be able to book a COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine from September 13 following the Morrison Government’s decision to implement expert medical advice. Bookings will be available through GPs, Commonwealth Vaccination Clinics and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations. Each state and territory will advise when their state vaccination clinics will open to this group. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) reviewed detailed medical evidence and recommended Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccination in all children and adolescents 12 years of age and above. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Moderna vaccine would also be made available subject to approvals from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and ATAGI recommendations for 12-18 year olds. “Vaccinating young people will protect them and provide peace of mind to their family,” the Prime Minster said. “Importantly, this decision provides the opportunity for families to come together to visit their GP and get vaccinated.” Coordinator General of Operation COVID Shield Lieutenant General John Frewen has been working with the Commonwealth and states and territories on coordinating an approach for this age group while supporting those jurisdictions wishing to undertake a school based vaccination later in the year. This detail will be outlined by each state and territory. It is expected that all children 12-18 years of age will have access to a vaccine during the course of 2021.
