My question is to the Prime Minister. In response to questioning from the Greens, Infrastructure Australia has revealed to Senate estimates that every $1 spent on the proposed East West Link will generate only 80c of direct benefits in return, and that is according to the Victorian Liberal government's own business case. Prime Minister, will you now abandon your pledge to tip $1½ billion into this toxic project, which will not just wreck inner city Melbourne but lose money as well?

Be nice if Abbott would answer the question you asked rather than the question he wanted you to ask!
