The government welcomed this week's release of Infrastructure Australia's 2020 update to its Infrastructure Priority List which reaffirms the Morrison government's delivery of the infrastructure that Australia needs and deserves. The Infrastructure Priority List has delivered the largest list of projects to date, including 147 nationally significant projects across a range of sectors, including transport, energy, water, communications, housing and education. It's about $58 billion worth of projects. The list itself focuses on delivering regional and urban projects to support a growing population, to meet the national freight challenges and to get Australians home to their loved ones sooner and safer. I'm pleased to inform the Senate that the Morrison government is already supporting and investing in a number of projects identified on the updated list.
