This is what this MPI is all about—a former minister, in a bad Labor government defending bad Labor decisions. The reality is that in 12 months time the Australian people will have exactly the same choice. That is the choice between a government that has got on with infrastructure—by delivering WestConnex; delivering the GUN upgrade in Brisbane; the upgrades in South Road, South Australia; and delivering, for the first time, a 10-year plan for the Midlands Highway—and a government that will rip up contracts like the Perth Freight Link. And we know they will because they did it with East West. They will rip up this contract. They will come into government, they will destroy our sovereign risk, they will destroy jobs and they will put aside all the good work we have done on infrastructure. The Australian people will have a clear choice—and on one side it is a choice against jobs, and on this side it is for jobs and for growth.
