Mr Speaker, I thank the member for O’Connor for his question. They could not even scratch up a Queensland member to ask the question. For goodness sake! What are the Liberal Party and the National Party coming to these days? In terms of the Queensland economy and investment in that economy and what you do, what we have done is put in, through our own nation-building plan, $11.8 billion into the Queensland economy. That is what this government is responsible for. All governments in the face of the recession have to take tough decisions. They have, we have, and we stand by our decisions.
