Mr WILLCOX (Dawson) (13:50): In the last three years, federal funding for the Bruce Highway has vanished. In 2023 the Albanese Labor government slashed the historical Bruce Highway funding model from an 80-20 split between the federal and state governments to a fifty-fifty split, additionally cutting $483 million. So I was excited when I heard the announcement from the Prime Minister in January for $7.2 billion to fix the Bruce. 'The money's there,' he said—another Labor untruth. Senate estimates discovered only $432 million will be spent over the next three years. That is less than 10 per cent of what is promised. Only yesterday, another life was lost in a horror crash on the Bruce Highway south of my hometown of Bowen. Another life lost is a downright disgrace. The Bruce Highway is obviously not a priority for the Labor government. However, those opposite wasted $450 million on the divisive Voice referendum, wasted $29.9 million to rebrand existing mental health hubs and wasted $251 million to convince taxpayers the government is doing a good job. The Prime Minister needs to stop wasting taxpayers' funds. Spend the money where it's desperately needed and where it will save lives. Fix the Bruce!
