Mr President, I rise to ask a final supplementary question. I draw the minister's attention to a recent report by the Tourism and Transport Forum on the economic return of investment in public transport where they outline the increased economic growth in areas of Sydney which benefitted from the development of the Epping-Chatswood rail link compared with the rest of Sydney. Given these economic benefits and the jobs benefits, why will the government not redirect the $3 billion of funding to public transport projects in Victoria?
