Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer. In New South Wales the only thing you have to look at is the broken promises of New South Wales Labor on announced and re-announced rail lines, and the only investment in roads infrastructure in Western Sydney is the largely Commonwealth funded Western Sydney orbital. Is the minister’s answer, then, really a concession that the government’s bail-out package of infrastructure—and transport, which he also mentioned—is evidence that the New South Wales Labor government has comprehensively failed in its core responsibilities?
