My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Finance, Minister Farrell. A recent statement by the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, stated that the Australian government 'should implement public investment projects at a more measured and coordinated' pace'—for example, infrastructure—'to alleviate inflationary pressures'. Now, I'm not usually one to support bodies like the IMF, but the government—both sides of this chamber—loves to bend the knee to unelected globalist bodies. It just so happens that, this time, I agree with them and they're speaking my language! To play your role in tempering inflation, what wasteful projects will your government potentially cancel or maybe delay?
