Thank you very much, Mr President. We want to continue to work with the Hodgman government on projects like the $400 million over 10 years for the Midland Highway; the $38 million towards the Hobart International Airport runway extension; the massive education infrastructure commitment of $150 million to relocate and expand the University of Tasmania; and the city deal with Launceston.

Of course, the risk is that if there were to be a return of a bad Labor-Green government in Tasmania, all of this would be so much more difficult. Tasmania would again be looking at the sort of disastrous economic developments—
