I wish to outline to the House the latest sightings of a complete lack of concern, interest and, indeed, understanding of the key issue within the electorate of Moreton, and that is the way our area has been put under pressure by decades of failed investment, or no investment, in infrastructure. Our area is very much at the epicentre of Queensland’s transport industry. The Labor Party’s ignorance about these issues is just breathtaking. Two recent sightings are as follows. The Labor Party recently sponsored the member for Batman to visit and have a look. He reconfirmed that the Brisbane urban corridor is the preferred route for trucks. He reconfirmed that the upgrading of the Ipswich Motorway from Granard Road, Rocklea West is the only option that they see for trucks.
