Mr President, my question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Senator Johnston. How does the government justify contributing $3 billion to the East West Link tollway project in Victoria, including $1½ billion already handed over, despite information including the business case remaining secret and it being a project which manifestly will not solve Melbourne's congestion problems when the meltdown in Melbourne's train system yesterday due to antiquated signalling shows that it is public transport that is in desperate need of investment from both state and federal governments?
