My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Ford versus Holden; Brockie, Johnson, Moffat, Bond and Skaife—Bathurst is the home of motor racing in Australia. Every year the great race at Mount Panorama/Wahluu draws hundreds of thousands of racegoers and a global viewing audience. Your department has just pulled $12.5 million in grant funding for a second racetrack and won't allow an extension of the completion date or upgrades to the existing circuit. Will you agree to meet with me and the mayor of Bathurst to review this outrageous decision?
