I'm glad to see that the member for Corangamite will be speaking shortly about that process, which I know she has worked very hard to establish.

As the minister looks ahead to the next deal, I would ask him to consider that, however it might be structured, the Sunshine Coast is a perfect candidate for involvement. We have a rapidly-growing population and high levels of private investment. We have important infrastructure projects, like upgrades to the North Coast rail, which could transform our region's prosperity, a unitary local council and a unified group of hardworking state and federal representatives, one of whom joins me here today—and he'll no doubt expand on this motion.
