Mr TRUSS (Wide Bay—Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development) (14:38): In last year's budget, the government announced a $50-billion plan to build the infrastructure that Australia needs for the next century, and this budget delivers the second instalment in that program with funding for road projects right across the nation already creating tens of thousand of jobs, building the kinds of projects we will need to move traffic around our cities, increasing the economic capacity of our freight routes and building safer roads. Projects like WestConnex, NorthConnex, Gateway North, South Road, the Perth Freight Link project are all major projects that are making a real difference in our capital cities—all of our capital cities except Melbourne, where the Victorian government have decided they do not want to build the biggest road project in this state. They ripped up the contract and have got nothing to put in its place. But in other states, we are getting on with the job of building the roads for the 21st century. One of the most exciting announcements— Mr Albanese: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Mr TRUSS: This will not be a genuine point of order, Madam Speaker. Sit him down. Mr ALBANESE: The member asked a question about the 2015 budget. The SPEAKER: What is the point of order? Mr Albanese: In order to be relevant, the minister has to refer to something new that was in the— The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The member will resume his seat. The Deputy Prime Minister has the call. Mr TRUSS: It is all about the 2015 budget. The exciting thing about the 2015 budget is that it provides all of the funding that is going to be necessary to complete the four-laning of the Pacific Highway between Brisbane and Sydney. All of the money is provided in this budget. That is a project that would not have been completed for another decade if Labor had been in office. Because they were not providing the funding that was necessary, the project would have stalled. The Pacific Highway is now on schedule for completion by 2019 to deliver the kind of standard of highway that Northern New South Wales needs. And there are a number of other significant projects that get a great boost in this budget. For the Toowoomba Range second crossing, over $300 million is provided in this budget to get that project, at long last, underway. It was a project that Labor always opposed and never provided any support for that is at last getting underway and that will make a huge difference to the people of Southern Queensland. On the Bruce Highway, there is another $500 million to start section C on the Cooroy to Curra section, a project that Labor never provided any funding towards. So we are getting on with the job. Also the Roads to Recovery program, the work on the regional highways and getting rid of the black spots will all make a difference to regional Australia and to our nation as a whole. (Time expired)
