My question is to the Prime Minister. Can you confirm that 42 per cent of the Urban Congestion Fund for South Australia is allocated to the marginal seat of Boothby? Is there no traffic congestion in the seats of Hindmarsh, Spence or Kingston?

I refer the member to my earlier response when I listed quite a number of Adelaide and other South Australian seats which are benefiting from the investments of this government. But I've got to say: the member for Boothby does a fantastic job! You'll find no better advocate for dealing with the issues and challenges in the electorate of Boothby than the member for Boothby. That is why the member for Boothby was re-elected, because she understands what's going on in her community and she fights for her community and she has the ear of a government that can deliver for the people of Boothby. And that's why the people of Boothby made the right decision by re-electing the member for Boothby and all the other members who sit on this side of the House, because they know: when our government makes a promise to Australians, we keep it. And that's what our government is doing.
