Thanks to the fiscal discipline of this government—and I acknowledge and thank the finance minister for the wonderful job that he's done in putting together this fantastic jobs and growth package—this budget commits an additional $3.3 billion for the Bruce Highway upgrades, taking our total commitment to $10 billion. We are committing an additional $1 billion for the M1 Pacific Motorway upgrades. There's new funding for the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade, Brisbane Metro and the Cunningham Highway from Yamanto to Ebenezer. Also, a total of $5 billion has been committed for job-creating projects for Queensland.

The real question for Queenslanders is: do they want a continuation of our record investments in infrastructure, which is this government's record; or do they want the other side, with their promises of reckless spending, job-killing taxes and more hard-earned taxpayers' funds being spent on servicing an ever-ballooning debt?
