Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Deputy Leader of The Nationals and Minister for Regional Services, Sport, Local Government and Decentralisation) (14:50): Thank you, very much, Senator Williams. Our government knows that a strong national economy doesn't just happen by accident; it takes discipline, careful planning and a willingness to back small, medium and large businesses to create jobs. And, because we believe in these things, we can take decisions as a government when and where we can and after careful consideration to help stimulate local regional economies. That's why the Liberal-National government has been investing a record $75 billion in infrastructure and delivering essential services, such as telecommunications, health and education to support growth across regional Australia, and that is why we've also developed a strategic and targeted decentralisation agenda. Over the past five years, our government has been able to shift over 1,100 public servant jobs out of Canberra, out of capital cities and into other areas of our nation. Last week, on Friday, in beautiful Coffs Harbour, I was able to announce that an additional 50 jobs from the Australian Maritime Authority will be moving from Canberra to Coffs Harbour, which is absolutely fantastic. Senator Cameron: Are they going to work at McDonald's? Senator McKENZIE: Senator Cameron, it's funny you say that. I find it interesting that the party of Whitlam, the party of the Prime Minister who backed decentralisation in the 70s in a way that the minister responsible in your opposition won't do, seek to actually critique moving jobs into regional communities where it makes sense to do so. Not only will it stimulate local economies but, as the acting CEO of AMSA said, 'I'm an ex-mariner. There aren't many ships and there aren't many boats in Canberra. It makes sense for us as an authority to be located on the ground, serving those communities which we seek to as public servants, and it makes absolutely policy sense.' It was an absolute privilege to announce that last week. The PRESIDENT: Senator Williams, a supplementary question.
