Mr TRUSS (Wide Bay—Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development) (14:39): The New South Wales government is meeting its commitments to provide funding to the Pacific Highway. It is a joint project, as the shadow minister says. We have committed 80 per cent of the funding and we are asking New South Wales to meet the other 20 per cent of the funding, which is consistent with the funding arrangements that apply to the national highway network. So New South Wales is partnering with us in this commitment to complete the Pacific Highway duplication by 2020. It is providing the funds that we have asked of it and we are getting on with the job, something Labor did not do when they slashed funding from these projects. Mr Albanese: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. That was a very specific question about whether he supports the cuts to road safety programs on the Pacific Highway. If he does, he should just say yes. The SPEAKER: The Acting Prime Minister has the call. Mr TRUSS: The reality is, again, that this government have increased funding to safety programs et cetera. The Black Spot Program and the road safety program for the heavy vehicle industry have got additional funding under this government, more than was provided by the previous government. The opposition simply cannot get away from the fact that they spent less on roads in their last year in government than the Howard government spent in its last year. The reality is they slashed road funding over their last year and it has taken this government to restore funding and increase— The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler on a point of order other than on relevance. Mr Albanese: Yes, Madam Speaker. He is defying your ruling. The SPEAKER: There was no ruling.
