Mr ENTSCH (Leichhardt) (16:02): I would like to put a call out to all of the fine citizens of Canberra to bring their wheelbarrows to this place, because what I have sat and listened to here in the last half hour would fill this chamber with bulldust and hypocrisy, and the Canberra community could fertilise their gardens for the next 12 months with the nonsense that's coming from the other side. What unadulterated rubbish. I have been in this place long enough to remember the shocking way those opposite treated regional Australia during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd fiasco. You only have to look at the figures to see what regional Australia thinks of the clowns on the other side—of 68 seats, only 13 represent regional Australia. Our side, with 77 seats, have 35 coalition seats, and there are three independents. So, clearly, the voters out there are not fooled by the rubbish we've seen coming across the chamber here today. They know the facts. I'll tell you what: the Labor Party has never ever been a friend of regional Australia. I know how hard we worked to get the mobile black spot funding up to start to get communications in regional Australia. As soon as the Labor government got in, they trashed it, for the six years. They talk about mobile black spots and complain that they're not coming out quickly enough. In six years we never saw one single mobile black spot tower go up under Labor. We had to reinstate it, and we're now looking at number 6 and number 7 in the program, and it is continuing to come around. I heard some nonsense about water. We are putting up water infrastructure. In fact, there's a hell of a lot of water money. We committed about $3.3 billion, and we're already committed to projects and have already funded some studies on projects. Why is it taking so much lead time? Because those on the other side, particularly in Queensland, had a no-dam policy—for years. They refused point blank to cooperate, so we've had to start from scratch. But we do have Rookwood Weir up, even though we're going to have to put up the lion's share of the money, and now the state government is wanting to reduce it. We are in the final stages of a business plan for the Lakeland dam. There's the Hughenden irrigation area and a number of others where we've given a very strong commitment that we'll make it happen. In my electorate there wasn't one single kilometre—not a metre—of bitumen laid down on the Peninsula Developmental Road. There wasn't a metre of bitumen laid down on the Hann Highway. All of these are now being sealed because of commitments that were made by this coalition government. So, don't come in here and feed a load of nonsense into here. As I said, we're going to have the cleaners working overnight to clean the carpets in here after all the nonsense that's been dropped on the floor today. It's been an absolute disgrace. Not only that: there was mention of the NAIF, the Northern Australian Infrastructure Fund. That is something the coalition actually introduced. You never see programs like that coming from the other side. It was a $5 billion fund. There is closer to $2 billion now already committed. A lot of that has not been in Queensland. The reason is that Jackie Trad and the Palaszczuk government have done everything they can to stop it from being rolled out. That's why we've seen much more benefit in Western Australia and in the Northern Territory. So many other projects have come about through a range of initiatives from our side. I'll just go through a few of them. Talking about health: $60 million to James Cook University. We've got the Wangetti Trail. We funded the Mossman mill. And there is COUCH Wellness Centre and the Daintree microgrid, and a range of sporting grants have gone out. Let me tell you, the Morrison government is absolutely not neglecting regional Australia; that is simply not true. I stand up here to support our record in this space, compared with that mob on the other side. They should hang their heads in shame to suggest that somehow or other they got a commitment. It was in May this year, because of the poor performance on the other side, that— (Time expired)
