Steve Panozzo, Pothole Whisperer from Australia invited to Clacton


13:30 Sun, 09 Aug 2026

Steve Panozzo has gained fame in Australia for his voluntary services as a Pothole Whisperer. Armed with tubes of paint and a lot of guts, he has regularly been spotted risking his life to warn other motorists about super-size potholes. A recent report on ABC news suggested there are over 250,000 potholes in the State of Victoria.

Road safety in regional areas of the UK has become a hot issue for the public. As part of my campaign for the Clacton by-election, I'm inviting the Pothole Whisperer to compare roads in Essex and the east of England to the roads in rural Victoria.

The former member for Clacton admits using his position to recruit over seven million followers on social control media while people complain he does nothing for basic services like roads.

I've made a donation of $250 to Steve Panozzo's crowdfunding campaign. GoFundMe told me the donation helped him achieve his goal of $3,500 and then a few minutes later GoFundMe changed the goal to $4,000. Are the perils of crowdfunding web sites on par with potholes?

The sum of $3,500 raised by Steve Panozzo is trivial compared to the donation of £5 million that a foreign cryptocurrency billionaire made to the former MP for Clacton-on-Sea.
