I'll speak slowly so they can understand. The Urban Congestion Fund is busting congestion and ensuring vital road projects are getting built. This $4 billion fund is bringing to life 166 crucial projects: 70 will start construction this year, four are already underway with geotechnical investigations and there is other preparatory work underway on many, many more. We took these projects to the Australian people on May18—remember that date? May 18. And guess what? We got elected. In the same way that Labor, to our knowledge and our understanding—I'm not quite sure of all their policies and all their promises—had 66 election commitments in small-scale urban projects, 100 per cent, means that every single one of them was in a Labor or targeted seat.
