We will provide an additional $11.6 billion to establish the Infrastructure Growth Package, which will fast-track investment in critical infrastructure across the country. In that package is $5 billion over five years towards the Asset Recycling Initiative, which provides incentive payments to encourage the states and the territories to sell assets and recycle the sale proceeds into new infrastructure. There is $3.7 billion for targeted infrastructure investments to deliver priority infrastructure, including work on Melbourne's East West Link and the $1.6 billion Perth freight link, which is very important to Western Australians. There is money going towards making our local roads safer, by providing an additional $350 million for Roads to Recovery and an additional $200 million for the Black Spot Programme.

Mr President, you can be assured that I could go on and on, but I will not.
