Senator CASH (Western Australia—Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women) (14:47): I thank Senator Rhiannon for the question. I am sure that I have already answered the question, but I will commence my answer by yet again asking myself, 'Why do the Greens hate infrastructure so much?' It is a little bit like when the senator from Victoria, Senator Rice, asked me a question in relation to the East West Link. Why do you hate projects which ensure that the people of the states in which the projects are being built get jobs? This is a good project. In terms of the Infrastructure Australia assessment: on 23 February 2015, Infrastructure Australia released their assessment of WestConnex, judging it as 'threshold', which indicates that the project has strong strategic and economic merit. Senator Rhiannon, which part of 'strong strategic and economic merit' do you not understand? Senator Abetz: The whole lot! Senator CASH: The whole lot, exactly, although it is a little unfortunate. That is exactly right! I again, for the benefit of those from New South Wales, outline the benefits of WestConnex. It will provide 33 kilometres of continuous traffic-light-free motorway to link western and south-western Sydney with the CBD, Kingsford Smith airport and the port precinct. That is a good thing. WestConnex will remove well-known bottlenecks in the M4 and M5 corridor and improve traffic flows, colleagues, by bypassing up to 52 sets of traffic lights. The benefits of the WestConnex project do not stop there. It will take 3,000 trucks per day off Parramatta Road. Again, I ask: what do the Greens have against infrastructure projects that create jobs, boost productivity—(Time expired)
