As I said, we fully funded the Hahndorf strategic planning study. In addition, we are already investing hundreds of millions of dollars into the member's electorate. I know how appreciative she is but, moreover, how appreciative her constituents are for those measures. There's $200 million towards the Princes Highway corridor in South Australia. I speak with Corey Wingard, the minister, very regularly. I know that he is also aware of the project to which the member refers and for which she has advocated.

I speak to Premier Steven Marshall—who has been a tower of strength through COVID-19—on a weekly basis about infrastructure needs in South Australia, about what is needed for that fine state. There's more than $29 million through community programs for the seat of Mayo and more than $6 billion for the Building Better Regions Fund. Again, there's $200 million going towards that fund, with round 5 being announced as part of this budget. That's delivery in action. I look forward to having further discussions with the member for Mayo about projects for her area.
