Warren Truss

Warren Truss Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals

When you look around at the Leader of the Opposition's 10 projects that were on the list, it just draws to attention the projects that are not on the list. For instance, the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, the biggest project in regional Australia, is not on Labor's list—it is just not there. The north-south corridor in Adelaide, South Australia's biggest ever project, is not on the list. And what about the WestConnex and NorthConnex projects, let alone the Perth Freight Link? None of those are on Labor's list. What about the inland rail? The Melbourne to Brisbane railway line is not on Labor's list.

The clear reality is that, if the Labor were ever elected to office, projects would be stopped right across the country—because they are not about building infrastructure; they are about stopping infrastructure. (Time expired)
