Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals) Share this | Hansard source

My question is directed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his pre-election commitment:

If you are serious about building the 21^st century economy in Australia you have got to build the infrastructure for it.

I also refer him to the October report of the Business Council of Australia which revealed that only 14 per cent of the government’s $96 billion stimulus spend has been set aside for vital economic infrastructure. How does the Prime Minister justify this reckless and wasteful spending and does this low priority that he has given to infrastructure assets not represent just another broken election promise?
