I was in Western Australia recently and saw firsthand the improvements and how the investments this government is making in Western Australia are making the lives of the people living there better. This year's budget builds on those investments and delivers another $1.6 billion in a $2.3 billion road and rail infrastructure package for Western Australia. To ease congestion and improve connectivity across Perth, we are investing $792 million for the Perth Metronet, which is a massive investment in that city's urban rail infrastructure, and will include projects such as the Thornlie to Yanchep line. We are also investing up to $490 million in the Forrestfield-Airport Link—a project that will support 2,000 jobs during the construction. But there is more. We are also investing $648.3 million in the Swan Valley Bypass, which will support 750 jobs during the construction, and that is just the start.
