So JobKeeper—done, tick, delivered. JobSeeker, with supplements helping the most vulnerable—done, tick, delivered. Cash flow boosts, ensuring small businesses are looked after—done, tick, delivered. Small business, and let's also talk about the SME guarantee—done, tick, delivered. How about the instant asset write-off, bringing forward investment and creating jobs—done, tick, delivered. The apprentice and trainee scheme, ensuring young people, in particular, have an opportunity for work—done, tick, delivered. Look at the major infrastructure. Look at defence. Record defence spending right now—done, tick and being delivered. Look at transport infrastructure. In my part of the world alone, we have $3.2 billion on the Bruce Highway between Pine Rivers and Curra—done, tick, delivered. We've got $390 million on the north coast rail line—done, tick, delivered. Right now, we have works that have just begun at the Maroochydore interchange, with over $200 million of federal government money—done, tick, delivered.

What do we get when we have this delivery? Colleagues, what we get is jobs and economic growth. Those opposite can be petty and they can be jealous, but I'll tell you what we're going to do in response to such jealousy. We're going to keep focused and keep doing our job, because we do it—done, tick, delivered. (Time expired)
