Thank you very, very much, Senator McKenzie. Well, in Victoria, what do we have? $12.5 million will be allocated under round 1 of the Bridges Renewal Program, with $7.6 million going to local governments. Victoria will also receive $35.7 million under the National Highway Upgrade Program, including for works on the Western Highway, the Hume Highway, the Monash Freeway and the Goulburn Valley Highway.

In addition, 19 projects have received funding through the National Stronger Regions Fund. This program will provide $45 million over two years to fund small projects in local communities.

There is no doubt, based on this government's record infrastructure spend last year of $50 billion and our further commitment to investing in infrastructure in Australia, that this is a budget that will deliver for all Australians, and it will create jobs and it will boost our economy, but, most of all, it is an opportunity for all.
