News flash: my name is not Catherine King; I can't predict exactly what is in her mind when she's making statements. I would hazard a guess that what she meant by that, Senator Pocock, was that the move towards fifty-fifty funding—the move back towards the traditional fifty-fifty funding—would mean that states and territories joining those projects could expand the value of those projects all-up.

To give you an example from my state, the Commonwealth government has committed $10 billion in funding for the Bruce Highway.
