The government has released a list of 125 priority locations that will share in the $60 million it budgeted for round three of the Black Spot Mobile infrastructure program. In NSW, 31 locations made the government’s priority list. It has been well noted and commented on that most fall in marginal electorates. In the first rounds Eden-Monaro received 13 towers - the third highest - now they are the highest in the state for Black Spot funding followed closely behind by Gilmore that sits on the knifeedge of being a marginal seat.
