Thank you, Mr President. This is good news. We know the Liberal Party hates good news as to the economy, but it is good news for tradespeople. It also builds on the other work we are doing with the stimulus. The Tasmanian senators should listen to this because they voted against it. In Tasmania they voted against the Brighton Bypass and transport hub. They voted against 27 Black Spot Program projects getting funding. They voted against $4 million going to community infrastructure programs, and $7 million for the Launceston stadium. (Time expired)
