My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, representing the Minister for Regionalisation, Regional Communications and Regional Education. Yesterday, the minister for regionalisation said about government policy for regional Australia:

There are no friends for the National Party at the moment—not a friend in the country. The peak bodies have deserted us; there's not a friend internationally.

Does the minister agree that there is no support for this policy?
