I do, Mr Speaker.

Today in question time the minister for infrastructure suggested that it was not the case that I commissioned construction which began on the Yeppen Roundabout and bridge upgrade that was opened just a week ago. For the benefit of the House, I table my release: '1 June 2012: Work starts on Yeppen Roundabout and bridge upgrade', which is when it began.
