We have the Range Crossing coming up too, which the mob opposite do not support. In Wide Bay Warren Truss, who is the chairman of the 'Order of the Bruce Highway', has done fantastic work in relation to the Cooroy to Curra section. Then down on the Sunshine Coast, where I live, we have Mal Brough, Wyatt Roy, Peter Dutton, Luke Howarth and Ted O'Brien pushing for upgrades to the Bruce Highway to six lanes between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and to improve the Gateway Motorway between the Deagon Deviation and the Bruce Highway to reduce the flooding impacts on the Bruce Highway. Every time it rains in Queensland—during the summer season it is sometimes every week—the Bruce Highway is cut off.
