I will have to talk to the minister responsible for that. I will undertake to do that for you. But given my experience with the traffic flows in and around Melbourne and the expansion of that community, I think it is clear that there is obviously a business case for infrastructure money to be put on the table to assist in traffic flows on the East West Link. Can I say, Senator, that Infrastructure Australia is assessing projects which involve Commonwealth funding of at least $100 million and will publish justifications for its recommendations to government. On 4 September, Minister Truss introduced the Infrastructure Australia Amendment (Cost Benefit Analysis and Other Measures) Bill 2014 into the House of Representatives to embed this into Infrastructure Australia's legislation. As I am given to understand, it is actually slated for debate this week in the Senate.
