It is almost like the potholes shake hands with each other. The port access road is not the Bruce Highway, Sir, as you well know. It is the Bruce Highway that we need to attend to. There is no doubt about that. With your indulgence, Madam Deputy Speaker, I am joined by the member for Blaxland and I understand students from a school in his electorate are in the gallery.

Now back to North Queensland. The federal government needs to make the Bruce Highway survivable for Queenslanders and in fact for all Australians.
