and, importantly, the complete abolition of any investment in urban public transport. You cannot deal with projects in cities without dealing with urban public transport—projects like the Cross River Rail; projects like the Melbourne Metro; projects like the one at Tonsley Park that this fellow, the member for Mayo, thinks was a freight line. It is a passenger line. And he lives in Adelaide! It is in his local community and it is a passenger line.

The fact is that those opposite do not have a plan for the long term. They do not have a plan for infrastructure. They want to dilute the Infrastructure Australia model and they want to trash the independence of Infrastructure Australia.
