I will not be chained to the bulldozer, but it is just an absolute shambles. We are supposed to be the smart nation. We need to move freight in Western Australia, and successive governments have all put their heads in the sand.

Now I want to conclude with this because I do not have enough time to really tell you what I am thinking. I made a bet with Senator Johnston when he was the minister at the table in his very first round of estimates as the minister. I bet him in front of everyone—it is on Hansarda $2 scratchie that this road will not be built. So, Senator Johnston, in my last five seconds I have remembered, and you are going to owe me a $2 scratchie.
