Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals) Share this | Hansard source

I have answered this question last week and I am happy to answer it again. During the election campaign the coalition made a number of very important promises to help regional communities and urban communities deliver services and facilities to benefit their people. The Labor Party also made a list of promises, which they said that they would implement if they were elected to government. But what they do not seem to realise, as government change deniers, is that the election was won by the coalition. We will honour our election promises, which will deliver substantial benefits to local communities.
