The coalition government will continue to put forward sensible policy to ensure that people across this country have access to reliable and affordable energy. Isn't it a shame that those in the Labor Party use question time to talk about an issue of parliamentarians crossing the floor when they could actually talk about things that are important to regional Australia? If only they cared as much about regional Australia as they do about the issue of people crossing the floor. Then they would be asking me about the Building Better Regions Fund and the half a billion dollars that the coalition government is putting into that. They would be asking me about the Inland Rail—$8.4 billion being invested by the coalition government into regional Australia. They'd be talking about the major regional projects fund—$272 million going to major regional projects across the country where regional people are going to think big and deliver big. (Time expired)
