He has quoted the medical school in Townsville! How about you start on the Flinders Highway, mate! Let's just start filling a few potholes out there before you start doing anything because I am getting a little bit tired of everyone from the member for Kennedy's electorate coming to see me because it is a waste of time going up there and listening to a diatribe from the member for Kennedy for 45 minutes before he trots them out there and they just walk out and say, 'What happened there?'

This is a smart bit of policy. It brings us back to where the money will be raised and spent on roads. That is what we need to do in North Queensland. That is what we need to do in Northern Australia. This government is delivering on its promises to fix the mess that we have inherited, and we will do that. I thank the House.
