I thank the member for Petrie for her question and I congratulate her on looking after not just her electorate—as with the ‘Dorothy Dickson’ from the member for Dickson today—but other electorates as well. I was with the member for Petrie just on Friday. We were announcing the support that we are giving to rail crossings as part of the government’s Nation Building and Jobs Plan.

We are continuing to roll out the community infrastructure program. Today we have announced some 146 ready-to-go local infrastructure projects in regional South Australia, worth $5 million. We have announced some 164 ready-to-go infrastructure projects in regional Western Australia. And I am pleased that we have jointly announced with the member for Lyne some $1.1 million for community infrastructure on the mid-North Coast. These projects are being rolled out across the country. Every single local government area, every single one, regardless of which way they vote, is receiving support through the community infrastructure program.
