The government does not support the amendment to prevent incentive payments being used to fund the construction of toll roads. It is for the states and territories to decide what arrangements they enter into to provide the modern infrastructure of the 21st century that they consider important to their economic growth.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that amendment (4) on sheet 7487 revised be agreed to.
