Have any contracts or agreements been entered into with the Queensland government or third parties with respect to its construction? Is it intended that any such contracts be entered into in this calendar year? Secondly, can the minister also explain to the other seven state and territory governments why the Goodna bypass, for example, is to be fully funded by the Australian government yet, for example, the Pacific Highway in New South Wales and the Hume Highway have to be fifty-fifty, the Deer Park bypass has to be fifty-fifty and the huge problem, for example, in South Australia with the northern road has to be shared funding? Why is the Goodna bypass special?
