Senator JOYCE (Queensland—Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:13): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer , Senator Wong. In its agreement with the Independents to form government, the government agreed to invest $1.4 billion in community infrastructure. Can the minister please outline how much of this money is being spent on regional infrastructure projects over the forward estimates as outlined in last night's budget, and did your negotiations with the Independents insist on investment in such things as crazy ants, the Australian Antarctic Division, Canberra centenary celebrations and Perth airport roads?
