It is all about ensuring that we're investing in those policies that are going to grow the economy and allow job creation. Certainly our $100 billion investment in key infrastructure projects is part of this government's blueprint for delivering jobs, productivity and economic growth to all Australians. The investment itself, though, will increase freight efficiency and improve road safety but also ensure that local businesses are able to get their goods to market more quickly and more reliably, whether they're in the north of Queensland or Western Australia, regional areas or urban Australia. All Australians will ultimately benefit from our infrastructure investment. The record infrastructure investment—it is a record structure investment of $100 billion—is all about supporting and building the infrastructure projects that are going to ensure that our economy does grow and we continue to create more jobs for Australians.
