You only put $50 mil in—two pylons and half a bridge.

An honourable member interjecting—

You put in nothing. We have everything sorted for the people of the Shoalhaven. It has been a pinch point for economic drive, it has been a pinch point for our residents, and it has been a pinch point for our tourists. Every one of those aspects gives us jobs and growth for my region. I am proud to say that this has been delivered by my government, and I really can't wait until the New South Wales government comes in with their co-funding.

In addition to that, I'd very loudly like to support my community: those 3,000 people who signed the petition, those 2,000 people who let us ring them and talk to them about the bridge, all those people who came to our street stalls and all those people who helped us letterbox. We have an afternoon tea for them on Monday, to say thank you, at the Nowra School of Arts from 4.30 to six. It's a drop-in session. Come in, have coffee and tea, enjoy the company and celebrate the delivery of the Shoalhaven River bridge. (Time expired)
