The member for Fadden has just interjected and said that we want to build a footy stadium. There will be 1,200 jobs in building that. It is an ongoing industry and it has a centre on the Gold Coast that has a lot of interest. This will generate jobs, jobs and jobs, so I am not sure why the member for Fadden would fight against a project like this. It is supported by the current state government and the federal government and it is supported by the community. It is something that will bring an enormous amount of employment at all levels during the building of the project and it will be of ongoing benefit to the community.
