My question is to Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Will the minister confirm that the latest cost estimate for the construction of the Dinmore to Goodna section of Ipswich Road is $2.7 billion, two and a half times last year’s election promise of $1.1 billion? Minister, does this multibillion dollar blow-out in addition to computers in schools and broadband policy bungles not simply prove that the government is losing control of its budget?
