00:00here on the south coast for what is a big milestone. This is a project that was
00:05talked about for many years, now delivered. On the 1st of June it'll be
00:09carrying traffic and that is such a victory for this local community. I know
00:15that the community here campaigns so strongly for this project and I want to
00:20thank the joint funding as well from the Minns Government. We're joined by Liza and
00:26Caitlin here from the Minns State Labor Government together with Fiona who
00:31campaigned so strongly for this. I stood here at this very spot a number of times
00:38with Fiona making sure that this road went ahead. This is vital for productivity
00:45most importantly it's vital for safety. I've had the privilege of staying there
00:51at the beautiful Jervis Bay and what you know is that every time you're trying to
00:55get out and around onto the highway. It's a very dangerous spot. What this has
01:00done is improve road safety, improve travel times, good for tourists, good for
01:06locals, good for everyone and it's also been good for those people who've been
01:10employed over a hundred on this site making a difference for them and I want
01:15to thank them. They could be so proud of not just today but every time they go
01:20past here many and most of them are locals every time. I think I helped build that and that's a
01:26fantastic thing.
01:36Thank you so much for joining us.
01:51How are you?
01:55I'm a champion.
01:55I won't have a good job, I won't have a good job.
02:04I'm a champion.
02:05Good job, I'm a champion.
02:07Glad you did.
02:07Right, right, right.
02:08I'm a champion Phil.
