And we've had numerous other budgets funded, especially this week in the budget.—projects like the Tonkin Highway upgrade and expansion, including $404 million to extend the highway south past Mundijong Road connecting it to the South Western Highway, getting big trucks out of residential areas. We have $22 million to construct the Pinjarra heavy haulage deviation, which the town voted 84 per cent in favour of at a local referendum in 2017. It will stop more than 690 trucks passing through that historic town every day and activate that township as a tourist destination for many Australians and international visitors. There is $16 million to expand the Mandurah Train Station car park, getting people to and from home more quickly. There is $10 million towards the construction of the Lakelands Train Station. The People of North Mandurah overwhelmingly want this station, but WA Labor calls it 'the station that no-one needs'. Labor is openly ignoring our community, but I won't stop fighting for it. Finally, there is $10 million to upgrade the intersection of Thomas and Nicholson roads, one of the most dangerous intersections in the state of Western Australia, to make it safer— (Time expired)
