Mr TRUSS (Wide Bay—Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development) (14:29): It was a great pleasure to be with the member for Capricornia and the member for Flynn for the opening of the Yeppen flood plain bridge just a few days ago. Mr Albanese: Funded by us! Opposition members interjecting— Mr TRUSS: Built by us! Government members interjecting— Mr TRUSS: And funded by this side of parliament! Absolutely! Honourable members interjecting— Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker— The SPEAKER: I have not called you. I am not going to attempt to listen over constant interjections. Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order. It goes to whether the minister is misleading the House. It was built by workers funded by us. All you did was— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat! The member for Grayndler knows more than most members in this House, because he made the point himself when he had a different role, that, if he wants to take that action, there are other forms of the House to do it in—not in question time. Mr TRUSS: Just to correct the record: the reality is that I turned the first sod on this project. The workers built the project and the taxpayers are paying for it—and this government is including it in the budget. They talked; we acted. We built it! The honourable member for Capricornia and the honourable member for Flynn were strong advocates of this project, which is, incidentally, the largest bridge in regional Queensland—and it is certainly a great tribute to all of those people who were involved in building this project. This government created 200 jobs for people by constructing that bridge. Those are real jobs for people in Central Queensland. But that is not all we have done in that area. We have a large number of significant road projects underway: there is $428 million for the Mackay Ring Road, which will create 600 jobs—and that, I know, was very much appreciated by the member for Dawson; $166 million for the Peak Downs Highway; the Kin Kora roundabout in Flynn—another 78 jobs; the Sarina Northern Access—another 32 jobs. We are creating jobs by building the infrastructure that those regions need. We are doing that because we have the capacity, because we are running an economy that is capable of funding these worthwhile projects. But there are threats to these jobs. The other side, at its conference, is now proposing to implement a carbon tax—to go back and introduce a turbocharged carbon tax, which will add to the cost of every road construction project in Australia. Every road construction cost will be more expensive. Ms Macklin interjecting— The SPEAKER: In response to the member for Jagajaga, I am not going to recognise a point of order while she and her colleagues are interjecting. Ms Macklin interjecting— The SPEAKER: I recognise your voice! Ms O'Neil: Mr Speaker— The SPEAKER: I have not called you. Member for Hotham, on a point of order—and it needs to be a point of order, not an attempt to revisit your last point of order. Ms O'Neil: No; it is under an entirely different provision of the standing orders. Mr Speaker, I raise a point of order on relevance. You have made the point in your previous ruling about whether or not people are allowed to— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: If I could listen! Ms O'Neil: You made a distinction in your response to the points of order regarding whether people on the other side are allowed to ask questions about opposition policy. You appear to have ruled that in order, which is disappointing. However, in your answer, you made a distinction between specific references to opposition policy and more abstract endings to the question. The SPEAKER: If you had listened carefully to what I said, you would have heard the reference to opposition in the question. If you have an extensive look at the material I have looked at, there was no— An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: Precisely! That was disorderly. It is disorderly. I am not going to be interjected on. The Deputy Prime Minister is in order—and I am listening carefully. Mr TRUSS: A turbocharged carbon tax will cost thousands of jobs with the closure, under Labor's policy, of power stations in places like Callide and Gladstone and Tarong and Stanwell—thousands of jobs will be lost. On the one hand, the coalition government is creating jobs and building infrastructure. The other side is offering us an alternative: fewer jobs, because projects will become more expensive—less affordable—and will not happen.
