I think, perhaps, in the spirit of Christmas, let me mention some of the many projects that the government has completed through the year.

In the 12th month before Christmas, the government delivered a $140 million duplication of the Princes Highway east near Traralgon in the Gippsland electorate. In the 11th month before Christmas, we delivered the next stage of the Western Highway in the member for Wannon's electorate. In the 10th month before Christmas, we delivered the $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery Program to local councils. In the ninth month before Christmas, we delivered the $50 million upgrade of the Bruce Highway from Sandy Corner to Collinsons Lagoon in the electorate of the honourable member for Dawson. In the eighth month before Christmas, we delivered $212 million for 51 projects under the National Stronger Regions Fund. In the seventh month before Christmas, with the help of the Brisbane City Council, we delivered the $1.5 billion Legacy Way tunnel project in Brisbane. In the sixth month before Christmas, we delivered safety works on the Moss Vale Road in the electorate of Gilmore—
