I do have a supplementary question. The government has cut critical programs to regional roads, including abolishing the Roads of Strategic Importance initiative and the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. With dozens of projects axed and regional road funding bogged down in bureaucracy, why won't the government restore these important programs to help country roads instead of cutting default speed limits from 100 to 70 kilometres per hour?
