I absolutely thank the member for the question. That is extraordinary. For 12 years the Ipswich motorway has been an issue in Brisbane. For 12 years they did nothing about the Ipswich Motorway. The government went out there and started work on it. The Prime Minister and I on 2 March of this year—and I remember it because it was my birthday—spent the day working on the Ipswich Motorway with Shayne Neumann and Bernie Ripoll, and the members who supported this important, critical project for Brisbane. It is terrific that the last question asked this year by the opposition is one which is critical of our nation-building agenda, because it says it all.
