My question is to the Minister representing the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Senator Scullion. I refer to the government's Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics yearbook. Can the minister confirm that, under the Liberal-National government, annual infrastructure investment in Australia has plunged by 17 per cent since 2013? What is the total cost to the Australian economy of the reduction in infrastructure investment of $9.7 billion a year?
