I appreciate that a number of members have just spoken, but I have a couple of additional questions to the minister. What is the government's policy if public investments don't stack up? Should they be prohibited? The second question I have is that there is an infrastructure pipeline with more than $100 billion of projects under development. Could the minister explain how much of this should be allocated to projects that don't stack up? Finally, how do we make sure that the government doesn't use pork barrelling, doesn't approve and support infrastructure and billions of dollars worth of the community's money to support projects that do not stack up?
