On behalf of all those in the House, it was good to see Mr Wyatt get to answer his first question. My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. The government has punished Victorians for electing a Labor government by short-changing Victorians on infrastructure funding, with Victoria receiving eight per cent of federal infrastructure funding despite having 25 per cent of the nation's population. Why is the Prime Minister now holding West Australians hostage by threatening to withhold $1.2 billion of federal infrastructure funding because a future Labor government would not proceed with the discredited Perth Freight Link?

Mr Craig Kelly interjecting
