I have a further supplementary question. I note the federal government is funding regional road projects—in Queensland, the Bruce Highway project, and in New South Wales, the Pacific Highway project—which are very worthy projects. Can the minister explain why there are no current funding commitments to regional roads in South Australia, given that there are roads such as the Augusta Highway and the Sturt Highway that urgently need safety and capacity improvements and for which good project proposals have been developed?
