You have from those opposite complete ignorance. I was at an event yesterday where a senior infrastructure player—not a supporter of mine politically, it must be said—said, 'Has anyone explained to the new government how an infrastructure project gets funding; how it works?'

If it is not there, then the fact is the project cannot proceed. Everyone in the private sector knows that.
