Dr GILLESPIE (Lyne—Assistant Minister for Health) (15:43): There is a lot of argument going over here. Everyone knows that infrastructure drives economic growth, connects communities, leads employment and in many cases, particularly in road infrastructure, leads to safer, more efficient transport and saves lives. But the difference is that we are actually delivering things, whether it is roads, rail, bridges, airports, connectivity—in the form of fixing mobile phone black spots and actually delivering the much-waited-for NBN—or social infrastructure like increased aged-care building. In my area, in the electorate of Lyne, on the North Coast of New South Wales, you only have to look outside the metropolis of Wauchope to nearby east Wauchope, called Port Macquarie, and you will see an extra $2 billion being spent on the Pacific Highway. The Pacific Highway has an extra $2 billion put back in and it is actually being built. There is $1 billion being spent just between the Oxley Highway and Kempsey, creating over 900 direct jobs and 2,000 indirect jobs—really driving economic growth. Then there is the Bucketts Way between Gloucester and Taree, extra Roads to Recovery funding, extra Black Spot funding and bridges to recovery. You only have to look at other states, for example the northern Australia roads—beef roads. You only have to look at the Bruce Highway: there is an extra $2 billion being put into the Bruce Highway. And there is the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing—the list goes on and on. For rail infrastructure, as I mentioned, we have Inland Rail that is finally having serious amounts of capital put in by the coalition government. That is $893 million from Melbourne to Brisbane. It is going to be game changing for freight and all the economy that drives from it. There is the Moreton Bay Rail, the Gold Coast Light Rail and the Murray Basin Rail Project. Dams have driven communities and civilisations since ancient Egyptian times. Australia has not had anything done on dams until this coalition government committed— An opposition member interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Coulton ): Order! The member for Grayndler has had his turn. Dr GILLESPIE: Chaffey Dam has an extra 38 gigalitres. And there are the Tasmanian Irrigation Schemes, whether it is the Southern Field dam and the irrigation associated with that or the Swan Valley Irrigation Scheme with the Melrose Dam, or the Duck Irrigation Scheme at the Mill Creek Dam. In Victoria there is the MacAlister irrigation system, and there is the South West Queensland Pipeline. In my area on the mid-North Coast there is $34 million of infrastructure being built by MidCoast Water and $10 million from the federal government building hard infrastructure, for water, for Taree and Forster and the mid-coast. Our airport commitment means that, in my area, the regional airport for Hastings and Macleay at Port Macquarie have $1¼ million committed from this coalition government. We finally made a decision on the Western Sydney Airport, and the planning and all the logistics that will lead to it are actually being done. The NBN: that is another $30 billion. The trouble with the members on the other side is that they talked about it for six years and they spent $6 billion but there were only 50,000 customers. Now there are 1.75 million people who can connect to it. That is a lot better. Just look at the figures for last month: there were 50,000 premises passed. There are rubbery figures all over the place from the other side, so do not believe what they say; look what they do. In their last budget, in 2013-14, they promised $3.9 billion for this current year, but we are delivering $9.18 billion. In 2011-12, they promised $6.1 billion, but they only delivered $3.6 billion. So do not go on what they talk about or what they say, just look at what they do. We are actually delivering on infrastructure. For aged-care infrastructure in my electorate we are getting extra nursing homes in Foster, Gloucester and down at Tea Gardens. We are actually building stuff and matching our rhetoric with delivering results. Honourable members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! Before I call the member for Brand, I might just remind the members that we are getting into a free-for-all here and I will be evicting people if this continues. I call the member for Brand.
