Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that there have been some calls for economic stimulus infrastructure projects to be cut around the country? Is the minister aware of any views, perhaps from his own state of Western Australia, on whether stimulus infrastructure projects should be cut? Can the minister inform the Senate of the consequences of cutting infrastructure investment for Australian jobs and Australia’s long-term productivity?
