Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:03): I thank the senator for the question. I do recall the extent to which all of us tried to campaign for state elections in this chamber, and I'm not sure any of us were actually very successful, but I'm happy to take the question. If my colleague Minister Watt, who actually represents the minister whose quote you are using, is able to assist, I'm sure he will. In relation to infrastructure projects, we have said that we will review infrastructure projects to better align investment with construction market capacity. We are consulting— Senator Henderson: So why did you give $2.2 million to a failing project? Regional Victoria got nothing! Senator WONG: You're in a permanent state of outrage, aren't you? The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WONG: There's never any light and shade with this particular senator; it's just permanent outrage. We're always right up there, aren't we? But I digress. As I said in response to the budget, we are aligning investment with construction market capacity. We are consulting with states and territories throughout this process. This is the responsible and honest thing to do. If those opposite were honest about this, they would recognise that the government is increasing funding to infrastructure in regional Australia over the next decade. I'll repeat that: they are increasing funding to regional infrastructure over the next decade. But rather than simply announcing, we are ensuring that we can actually deliver on what we say we will do. In relation to the points that the senator raised in her question, I would say it is interesting to get a question which goes to business cases and probity from a minister who never demonstrated that in her period in government. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: You might think that's outrageous. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WONG: But I think the public record speaks for itself. An opposition senator interj ecting— Senator WONG: Which part of that does Senator McKenzie want me to resile from? In relation to— The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Minister Wong. Your time has expired. Just a moment, Senator McKenzie. Before I call you, there was so much noise during the minister's response that I found it very difficult to hear. I would ask all senators to respect that the minister has the right to answer the question in silence. Senator McKenzie, your first supplementary?
