I was actually talking about those commitments in the Northern Territory. I thought the member would actually be interested.

But if we move across the north to North Queensland—and I know the Prime Minister's interested in this one—the North Queensland Cowboys have got $20 million towards their centre of excellence. I was there just a few weeks ago. The construction's underway. It's getting close to completion. It will deliver a centre for the people of the north. There is no reason you can't be educated and trained in the north to the same level as other places. That's what we're delivering. We will continue to provide these facilities, jobs in the north and opportunities for the north, and we will get on with the job.
