Senator DEAN SMITH (Western Australia—Chief Government Whip in the Senate) (14:43): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, Senator McKenzie. The success of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund demonstrates the Liberal and Nationals government's enormous commitment to regional and northern Australia. Senator Watt: You are kidding! The success of the NAIF? The PRESIDENT: Order! I asked a senator on my left to start their question again the other day because I missed parts of it due to interjections on my right. I am going to ask Senator Smith to start his question again, and start the clock again, because I couldn't hear part of the question. Senator DEAN SMITH: Senator Watt might just like to wait for the answer. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, Senator McKenzie. The success of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility fund demonstrates the Liberal and Nationals government's enormous commitment to regional and northern Australia. Can the minister outline to the Senate this afternoon recent developments from the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility fund, and how a strong budget will help create jobs and investment in my home state of Western Australia?
