Thank you. I'm very happy for Senator Colbeck to go back to Tasmania and explain to his constituents that he's actually asking about Victorian projects, not Tasmanian projects, and that he didn't want to hear about Tasmanian projects. But that's a matter for him. I'm sure my Tasmanian Senate colleagues will have something to say about that.

As I was saying, in relation to the Suburban Rail Loop, we are honouring our election commitment to provide $2.2 billion towards early works for the Suburban Rail Loop east. The detailed business and investment case for the Suburban Rail Loop released by Victoria last year demonstrated a benefit-cost ratio of up to 1.7. That's $1.70 for every dollar invested.
