My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. I refer him to his claim in parliament last week that the government has ‘announced, built, completed’ 32 large-scale projects since the 2007 election. I ask the minister: why did he claim stage 1 of the four-lane upgrade of the Bruce Highway through Gympie as one of those Labor projects, when the project was announced by former coalition transport minister John Anderson in 2004, was funded and built and completed under the coalition’s AusLink program and was officially opened by me on 5 October 2007, two months before the federal election?
