We are delivering the infrastructure that Australians want, expect, need and deserve. We are rolling those infrastructure projects out. I would have thought that the shadow minister for infrastructure, having sat with me in a very bipartisan way about road safety, would not have brought road safety into that question. I know the shadow minister for infrastructure has road safety on his mind, just as I do. I've heard the shadow minister for infrastructure talk about the Kempsey bus crash.

With the $971 million Coffs Harbour bypass, he has talked about it; we have actually delivered it. We're getting on with the job of actually building it. That's what we do. Those opposite talk. We deliver. We build. We build for road safety. We build for better connectivity. We're getting on with the job. We have $75 billion—a record amount—worth of infrastructure that we are rolling out. We're rolling it out now. We're rolling it out into the future. It's a decade-long pipeline of investment. That's what we're doing. That's what we'll continue to do.
