We're being hamstrung by our Queensland state government. They're dragging their feet when it comes to getting infrastructure projects off the ground. The federal government has stepped up with the funding, but the state government has gone walkabout. The outstanding projects in Queensland in Flynn are: $511,000 for the black spot on Kirkwood Road; $405,000 for the black spot on the Theodore Moura Road; $40 million for the Springsure-Tambo road; $20 million for the John Peterson Bridge; $700,000 for the Gayndah Mount Perry Road; $700,000 for the Rosedale Road and Winfield Road intersection; $20 million for the Phillip Street bypass; $3.5 billion for a water feasibility study for North and South Burnett; and of course Rookwood Weir, which we could talk about. I call the state to action.
