Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I confirm again what I said at the press conference the other day—it is quite normal. The Prime Minister, through the 'hunting licence process' that members opposite may be familiar with, through the ERC process, signs off on a whole range of recommendations that are made within their authority by ministers. That's the normal process. This program goes to something very important. This program, that we have supported—and I will quote you someone who was very supportive of these projects, saying:

… public transport isn't just about the train line or bus route itself. It's also about the surrounding infrastructure that makes it work for local residents. That is why we are committed to upgrading parking facilities here at Mango Hill Station and at transport hubs across the country.

That was from the member for Grayndler—the member for Grayndler. The Labor Party comes into this place and seeks to deride a program that they themselves have supported. But I will ask the minister if he wishes to add to my answer.
