Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Bass for his question. Indeed, when it comes to infrastructure funding, on this side of the House we do the analysis, we undertake the proper process and we ensure that we have the business cases. That is why we established Infrastructure Australia, one of our first pieces of legislation when we formed office, introduced in February 2008 in the first fortnight's parliamentary sittings. The Leader of the Opposition last week was committing to establish Infrastructure Australia when he said, 'If we are elected we will form an organisation called Infrastructure Australia.' It is typical of the lack of policy detail of those opposite when it comes to infrastructure.
