If anyone were new to the conversation here, they would think that these 'pillars of virtue' and 'everything good about Australia' had an argument. But, seriously, you mob had nine years. What the heck did you do for nine years? It is fantastic to talk about all these so-called great nation-building projects, but you didn't fund them and you didn't make any effort to build them.

Mr Deputy President, please indulge me, because this has been a wide-ranging question time today, and those over that side really talked some nonsense about infrastructure. I have been tied up in the infrastructure portfolio through Senate estimates for over 17 years.
