I do.

Today in question time the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development suggested that I had not provided the funding as minister that was in the budget for the Pacific Highway. I quote from Mr Mrdak at Senate estimates on Monday, 26 May 2014, who said the following: 'Essentially the Pacific Highway program is continuing as per longstanding arrangements.' In response to a question: 'So there are no new projects. Is that correct?' Mr Mrdak responded, 'The program is continuing as it has been.'
