We support this motion. We support Roads to Recovery and we support infrastructure development. We have not been obstructive on this bill at all; we have been constructive. We hope that the government meets the commitment that it gave to the Australian public about accountability and transparency and stops using the argument of red tape to diminish the proper role for government in the economy.
