My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Data obtained from the Queensland government shows that almost half of the Bruce Highway is rated just two safety stars out of five. Can the minister guarantee that life-saving projects along the Bruce Highway, like the four-lane Tiaro Bypass, will proceed according to the same scope and timelines committed to in the government's October 2022 budget?

The member for Hunter will cease interjecting before the minister even begins speaking or he'll leave the chamber.

I thank the member very much for his question and for his advocacy for the Bruce Highway. The Bruce Highway is an incredibly important road for this country. It's an incredibly important corridor for the people of Queensland. I can absolutely guarantee that there have been no cuts to funding for the Bruce Highway—none.
