Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:54): Senator Canavan, thank you for the question because it gives me an opportunity to point out that the coalition government, while making promises about funding of infrastructure for the 2032 Olympic Games, did not commit or provide in the budget one single cent. The last time I looked at building construction costs, you don't really get a stadium for zero cents, you don't get a road for zero cents, you don't get a rail line for zero cents or for zero dollars—and that's exactly the amount that was committed by the former coalition government and that has, of course, been improved upon by the Albanese Labor government. That's why the budget we handed down this year, the 2023-24 budget, actually delivers real funding, not just promises, on the Australian government's funding commitment towards the 2032 Games. Over the forward estimates $504 million has been firmly committed in the budget papers—not just promises—towards the Brisbane Arena project, and $512 million towards the 16 new and upgraded venues across South-East Queensland, which is a total of $1.076 billion. In total, the Albanese government— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Canavan? Senator Canavan: My question was a very simple and direct one: did the government consult with the AOC? The minister has gone nowhere near that. The PRESIDENT: I'm not sure I'd call it 'a simple one'; there was a fair bit of preamble in there. But I will draw the minister to that part of your question, Senator Canavan. Senator WATT: The government of course consults with the AOC, the Queensland government and various other partners in the delivery of the Olympics infrastructure on a regular basis. I know from previous reports that both the Queensland government and the AOC have been very pleased that they now have a federal government in place— Senator McKenzie interjecting— Senator WATT: that is actually prepared to deliver real funding for the Olympics infrastructure rather than the hollow promises that we had from the former coalition government. As I say, in total the Albanese government is delivering $2.5 billion for the Brisbane Arena development and up to $935 million for the minor venues program. This is real funding, not just promises. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Minister. Senator McKenzie, I am going to ask you to withdraw the comments you made as the minister was speaking, in regard to mistruths. Senator McKenzie: If it assists the chamber, I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. Senator Canavan, first supplementary?
