Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, when you say you 'remain committed' what you are committed to are urban motorway projects that have been financial failures. The Cross City Tunnel, the Lane Cove Tunnel, the CLEM7 Tunnel and the Brisbane airport link had traffic forecasts that were widely inflated. How can you justify gambling billions in federal funds on WestConnex, instead of spending it on public transport? That is how we can reduce congestion and decrease travel times.
