I withdraw. Many of the projects needed to support the games are already being funded, planned and delivered in the current infrastructure investment pipeline in order to support the growth of South-East Queensland. I'm pleased that Senator Canavan now recognises that South-East Queensland deserves support as well. For example, we are delivering $2.1 billion to the M1 Pacific Motorway upgrade program. We're delivering $1.06 billion to the Coomera Connector stage 1, as well as $300 million to the Brisbane Metro, funding for the Gold Coast light rail stage 3 and, of course, money for more planning of the Sunshine Coast rail as well— (Time expired)
