Given your contribution, I will not be learning anything from you. Senator Milne, of course the question of urban infrastructure will be considered. Does it improve productivity? Does it improve the quality of life? Of course it does. That is the point of these provisions. You make some points about the approach taken to the West Ring Road in Melbourne. I live within 200 metres of the Tullamarine Freeway and I can assure you how important that piece of infrastructure is for health and safety, for accessibility for the people of the region and for productivity.
