I find it extraordinary that those opposite stand up and ask the coalition about what we are going to do for regional communities when we are the government that continues to deliver for regional communities. Those opposite can barely get out of their city cafes in their coloured socks to go out and see regional communities, when those on this side are working hard to deliver. We hear nothing from the other side, nothing from the Labor Party, about the future of regional Queensland. They come in here and they carp and they go on, but they do not care—they are not out there. They live in Brisbane and they live in the Gold Coast. On this side of the chamber, we live with those people. We understand those communities. We are the ones who listen to those communities and who are going to continue to deliver—unlike the failed regional policies we have seen in the past from the previous Labor government.
