I will take the senator's interjection, 'Not very well!' She is indeed misleading the Senate. It is being very, very well received. There has been widespread support. Pricewaterhouse says bringing forward spending on close to $50 billion worth of infrastructure, including Sydney's second airport, the Brisbane to Melbourne inland rail, WA's Metronet and a widening of the City Deals program is a bold, positive move that will turbocharge productivity. The National Farmers Federation say that $8.4 billion for the Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail is the real crown jewel in tonight's budget, for the farm sector. This is a significant investment in the efficiency of our industry, better connecting our farms with new markets here and overseas. The Australian Automobile Association says the 2017-18 budget is a win for road safety. There has been incredible support for this coalition's budget that is going to take this nation forward into the future.
