Again, these projects are right across the country: $10 million for a project in Palm Island; in Dwellingup, in Canning, an investment of $1.2 million in the national trails centre, which is going to transform that town into a world-class trail hub; and in Durack, as one of the eight projects in Durack, I am delighted to announce $4.8 million for an innovative Indigenous training-to-work initiative.

I was particularly pleased to see that even the Labor MP for Shortland, Pat Conroy, in response to the coalition funding of $2.2 million for a road project in his electorate, said, 'This is a great win for our community.' So we've even got Labor members recognising the importance of coalition funding going into Labor electorates to improve circumstances in those communities. I'm very proud of this fund, Mr President, as I know the whole government is making real change for the future of the regions.
