My question is addressed to the Treasurer. I refer him to the Prime Minister’s commitment to a $76 billion infrastructure program, of which $41 billion was to be funded through a Building Australia Fund, the Education Investment Fund and a health and hospital fund. As the Treasurer has so far only allocated $26.3 billion to these three funds, is it still the government’s intention to meet the $14.7 billion shortfall from this year’s surplus?
