Indeed, I can. I still had such a long list of projects that this government is delivering, I didn't get through them all. This infrastructure rollout above all else means local jobs in local communities right across Australia. For example, the new Intermodal Freight Terminal in Melbourne will support both the Victorian and, importantly, our national freight networks, creating up to 1,350 jobs during peak construction and a further 550 jobs during peak operation.

The additional $1 billion for the highly successful $2.5 billion Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program is also successfully delivering local projects that matter to local communities right across our nation. That again means local jobs, not just direct construction jobs but jobs that flow right through local communities. This funding is also supporting around 3½ thousand jobs, taking the total jobs supported by this program to 9,000. This is what good government looks like. (Time expired)
