I am left wondering which projects the Labor Party are against? Which projects, in terms of urban infrastructure or congestion, do they think are unnecessary? Those opposite will criticise endlessly the things that they think aren't being done, yet when indeed the government does decide to invest in the Great Barrier Reef, or does invest in relation to urban infrastructure to address congestion—helping to ensure that families can get home more safely, on time, and to increase productivity across our economy by dealing with congestion and those issues—then they come in and they criticise those types of investments. What we see from the Labor Party all the time is a complete lack of consistency in that regard. We have invested in this to support Australians to be able to get the best possible outcomes in their lives. (Time expired)
