Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport) Share this | Hansard source

Today, in the debate on a private member's motion moved by the member for Berowra, the member for Berowra suggested that the funding for the F3 to M2 was not in the 2013 budget and that I had misled the parliament in suggesting that it was. For the benefit of the House, Budget Paper No. 3, on page 89, states very clearly:

In the 2013-14 Budget, the Commonwealth is contributing $400.0 million to fund the F3 to M2 tunnel in Sydney.

That was the basis of the subsequent intergovernmental agreement signed on 21 June 2013 between me and Duncan Gay, the New South Wales minister. I seek leave to table the budget paper.
