As I was saying, in Queensland, our budget contains over half a billion dollars for the Bruce Highway through Brisbane's outer north and between Gladstone and Rocky, as well as locking in over a billion dollar for the Coomera Connector stage 1 on the Gold Coast. In Far North Queensland, where Senator Green lives, the Albanese government is investing over $200 million on the Kuranda Range Road upgrade between Smithfield and Kuranda. In New South Wales, our budget includes a new $300 million commitment for the western Sydney roads package, upgrades to Bringelly and Mandalong roads and $38.6 million for Coulson's Creek Road in the Hunter—a project that the member for New England claimed to have secured funding for when he had done no such thing.

I could go on through every state. In Victoria there is the Suburban Rail Loop as well as money for the Gippsland rail line upgrade. Tasmanians will get safer, faster travel through upgrades to the Bass Highway, the Tasman Highway, east and west Tamar highways and, unlike the last government, we will actually deliver the Bridgewater bridge. In South Australia, we have maintained almost $5 million for the north-south corridor and many other commitments as well. In Western Australia, there is money for the Bunbury Outer Ring Road as well as the Metronet. The Northern Territory and the ACT are getting great infrastructure investment as well. We are delivering; you just made it up. (Time expired)
