Thank you, Senator Watt. You're right: I do advocate very fiercely for the needs of Queensland. Queenslanders watching these proceedings will be pleased to know that the Lighthouse Project pilot, for which funding has recently been allocated by the government, is operational in Queensland. Indeed, there is funding approved as part of the most recent budget, as a consequence in particular of the advocacy of Queensland senators from the coalition side, for upgrades to and improved and safer facilities in, for instance, the Rockhampton registry. I don't accept the premise of your question. There are enormous investments being made in Queensland.
